New ADSL2+ Modem Router

The master socket has a split faceplate-does yours? If that's the one that's dead, then someone has bypassed it, which OR won't be happy about, should an engineer be needed. Just trace the wiring from the house entry point as GunJack suggests..

much as was thinking it in my bodged phone wiring post, it was windup who stated it... can't take credit for that

...but yes, it sounds like a bodge-job

Yes it does, just like the earlier photo, but the 'master socket' is indeed dead. However, now found in the entry point, which is in a loft above our bedroom. It doesn't have a split plate.

No way can we have the router up there.

OR? Do you mean BT?
BT know about this as I've dug out old notes about a fault they fixed back in 2011.

I'm struggling with uploading stuff here but when I've worked out how do it, I'll post screenshots.

You need to take a screen shot and post the picture here, those links are of no use as they only work on your network.

Thanks

OK now got the screenshots.

How do I upload them here?

Sorry

Yes, OR = BT Openreach
