Hi there
I'm having this problem whereby if my home phone is plugged in as it were then the internet doesn't work.
This is the way I currently have it set up:
The master phone socket has one hole for a phone line to plug in. The internet line runs from the master phone socket under the stair carpet up to the router upstairs.
The phone is in another room downstairs beside the master phone socket and the line runs under the floor into the the room and connects up with the phone.
However, I have this thing that has four phone line holes on it and i assumed that I could just plug this directly into the master phone socket and then put the line to the router and the line to the phone in and both would work. But it doesn't. For the internet to work, only the cable that runs upstairs has to be plugged directly into the master socket. Hence, to use the phone, i have to take the internet cable out of the master socket and plug the one that goes to the phone in directly.
Can anyone tell me what's going wrong here? It's probably something simple, yes?
Thanks
