Correct way to enable all BT sockets after digital voice

Previous contributors on this topic suggested that in order to connect  BT sockets after digital voice  a cable could be run from the back of the router to the master switch. Provided the wires to the external BT network were disconnected this would enable the continued use of the house landline wiring via the master switch.

My master switch however has two connections, for the telephone and the router.  It looks to me as if I cannot  disconnect the external wiring to the master switch without also cutting off the connection to the router. Is there a way that I can continue to use the various BT sockets in my house?  I have sockets on different floors of the house as well as a burglar alarm.

Re: Correct way to enable all BT sockets after digital voice

You can only disconnect the incoming cable into the master socket and repurpose it and any extension sockets wired from it  if FTTP has been installed and the copper pair is effectively redundant…..for someone on FTTC where the incoming pair is still in use with the broadband service , the extension cable to the first extension socket needs to be isolated from the master socket , then at a convenient point an extension socket connected to the telephone port on the router ,

a link has been provided with details , or search voice re-injection …as extension sockets should be wired in series, connecting the nearest socket to the router should make all sockets ‘live’ , provided the entire extension network is isolated from the master socket first , obviously without disturbing the router connection to the master socket ,assuming the router is connected at the master socket.
