@Sgt_stitch 

Welcome to this user forum.

Who provides your phone and broadband connection?

You must not connect anything to the back of the master socket, that applies to all providers.

This is the guide https://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/home/helpandsupport/how-toguides/howtoguides/downloads/NTE5C_Instru...

This is the only way you are permitted to connect any extension wiring up, otherwise you risk being charged by your provider, if you have a fault.

Yes, you wire from the data extension terminals A&B in the master socket to terminals 3&4 in the RJ11
