How do I install the supplied ADSL microfilters correctly?
Your BT Broadband Installation Kit includes two types of microfilter:
- A Double socket microfilter for use where you will be installing your broadband router. This allows you to connect your router, and also a telephone if required, to one phone socket.
- A Single socket microfilter for use at any other phone socket where you have a phone, cordless phone base station, answering machine, fax machine, digital TV boxes (e.g. Sky+) etc. connected.
You should install these microfilters as follows:

Dual Socket - At the phone socket where you install the router:
- Connect the LINE end of the microfilter to your telephone socket.
- Plug one end of the grey ADSL Line Cord that came with your router into the DSL/HPN socket on the microfilter (B) and the other end into the DSL socket on the back of the router (C).
- If you want to connect a phone where the router is located, plug it into the socket marked PHONE on the microfilter.
