I've recently ordered Broadband and will have my connection enabled on Monday. I ordered an external ADSL Modem/Router 4 Ethernet Port/USB with two microfilters.
My problem is the microfilters. I need one on every live phone connection in the house right? So one downstairs and one up stairs. The problem comes when the phone upstairs is located in my parents room and the PC that will be getting broadband is in my room. Currently there is an extension lead that runs into my room that has a phone and a 56K modem connected.
Would I need two microfilters? One in my parents room with the phone and extension connected and then one on the end of the extension (which is in my room) with a phone connected? That means I'll need one more microfilter (three in total incl. downstairs).
Im going to order an extra one if so. In the meantime I'll disconnect the phone in my parents room and just put the microfilter on the end of the extension lead (located in my room) with the phone connected, just to check whether the connection is working, would this work?
A lot of questions there I know!, but your help is greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.

Heres the router that was supplied with my package from Freeola:
http://uk.special.reserve.co.uk/ [SPACE] q_GG9852_adsl_combined_mode.html
Its a good modem/router, easy to set up and configure. A wireless one might be more useful if you cant handle all the wiring etc. Type router in the search box above and you'll see a few routers that maybe of use to you. Read some of the reviews to see what others think. Im sure someone else will post with a reply soon!
Good luck.

Have you got a network card in your PC? If so buy a crossover cable(£5) and then set the ADSL connection to share the internet, and connect the crossover cable to the PS2 and the network card and thats it. You need to have the PC on at the same time as the PS2, but at least it saves you a good £50 or so on a router.
