@imjolly I'm on FTTP but using my own DECT phones.
so why wire the socket if phones are dect connected. if you want to move your base to nearer the phone socket would you not be better with just a DV adapter connected to power socket
imjolly distance from hub to where we want phone is just over 25ft in a straight line accross room thats why is better to run a wire out through the hole where BT come into room then around outside of building and in where the phone wall socket is.
If you are on FTTP then what I said doesn’t apply. The router connects to the ONT via an ethernet cable plugged into the WAN socket.
If the phone is DV the base station must connect to the socket on the back of the router or to an adapter plugged in to a power socket.
If the phone is not DV the base station must connect to the phone socket on the wall, in which case a simple phone extension lead could be run round the room.
but a DV adapter connects to hub by DECT so you could plug that into a mains socket and then connect your existing base to the adapter which would then give you a working phone and no wires. or am I missing something?
imjolly & wsh thank both for info didnt know about DV adapter will lookint but I also know I can wire if needed.
Thanks for all you imput.
phone BT CS 03301234150 and ask for free DV adapter then see how you get on
