The previous owners of our home had a filter installed next to the NID to separate the DSL and voice signals. There is only one jack in one room in the house dedicated to DSL - this is the only place my modem gets sync. However, I want to set up my computer in another room, and would like to use a nearby phone jack to receive the DSL signal.
I would like to know if it's possible to bypass the filter and simply use the microfilters SBC provided with my DSL modem. Would I simply take one of the three pairs of wires connected to the "voice" screws in the filter and put it on the "network" screws? Would that allow me to have DSL at all my working phone jacks as well as at the dedicated jack (because wires would still be coming from the "data" screws)?
My understanding is that the single pair of wires going to "network" are the incoming voice/dsl line from the NID - then the three pairs of wires going from "voice" are going back out to the phone jacks, while the single pair of wires going from "data" are going back out to the single data jack. Is this correct?
I am trying to avoid an expensive technician visit, or buying a wireless router, hub, etc. if at all possible.
Thanks.
