As title - I just can't seem to get my head round the easiest (and most efficient way to do this)
I currently have my Be modem connected to the lone phone socket in the house which is approx as the crow does not fly 15m's of extension away.
I have today installed a Netgear GS108 to stop my router from bottle necking my NAS transfer speeds.
Now I am thinking rather than use a nasty 15m BT extension lead I could use a 15m flat patch Cat5 cable instead and relocate the Be Modem next to the lone phone input and connect that to the switch.
Should get better/more stable speeds hopefully.
However and here is where I am unsure - I would like to have one of my 3 wireless DECT home phones in the office - the 'Base comander' (where the modem/dsl dongle/switchbox currently are) if I run an RJ45 up to the office am I stuck with the 'Base' DECT phone being @ the point where I would re position the ADSL splitter (ie where the phone line comes in)
I would rather have a fixed wired standard phone there I have an old school turn the dial converted phone which would go nicely in there (it's an unused dining room) and the DECT base up here, but I am not sure how to do it, other than using a 2 way phone splitter at point - and running an RJ45 and an extension lead the 15m up to the study which seems nuts - Am I missing a very obvious solution here?
Thank you for reading this quite boring thread by the way

- it's just that the room that the modem ideally would be in currently stocks lots of house decorating stuff and general clutter so we keep the door shut and effectively would lose the convenient use of one of the dect phones (one of my siamese cats has a penchant for wire wool and expensive paint brushes - which must be alarmingly detrimental to the condition said cat's health and only exacerbated by the cost of replacing DIY products and unpleasantness of constantly cleaning up cat sick!!!!!!!)
