i
Repositioned modem so that it is now on window sill and plugged directly into ADSL faceplate. New Cat 6 cable extends from there about 5m to router/PC etc. Checked speed and still getting 37Mbps which is the same as before (previously used pro plus cable to connect faceplate to adsl extension socket in bedroom (about 5m.
I was advised by many that plugging modem into master socket was best for speed. Ie. Shorten distance between modem and master socket and extend cat 5/6.
The only thing I can think of is that I still have pro plus connecting the master socket to upstairs socket even though nothing is connected to it. Surely that doesn’t make a difference.
(I'm on Infinity Option with 40Mbps max anyway but thought there would be slight improvement).
Many thank
