RJ45 Cat5e to RJ11 adsl 2+

I'm so confused.

Assuming you throw this cable away (it's a non-standard cable, no idea how you got it):

What are you dealing with where your router is supposed to go? Is it this?

And that won't insert into the Broadband port on here?

If I am right, then all you need is an RJ45 female to RJ11 male adapter.

If you have to do CAT3, keep it as short as possible.

Being dsl, with a pbx/cat5-rj45 halfringer and his modem only having rj11/12 jack the adapter cable I suggested would work.

Being in telecom, if I didnt replace a jack I would scotchlock a RJ11 cable to the wiring lol.

As far as I am aware, Fibre doesn't use the standard dsl "Broadband" port on a router, generally it has one of the Lan ports marked Wan/Lan for Fibre connection.
 
Did the ISP provide the router or did he buy it himself? If ISP provided, then it is DSL with no DHCP/routing capabilities and it needs RJ11 into the DSL port. If self bought, another potential issue that is.

The (V)DSL filter he's plugging into certainly doesn't give the impression of fiber.
 
Hi sorry about all the headaches I have caused, yes the isp did supply the router, I do have fibre at the moment I am getting 51mbs I should've getting 64 - 66mbs I am trying to make sure there is no problems inside before I complain, I haven't got a clue about the majority of what you are telling me to do.
 
What is the problem right now? Is there one? Is it simply the cable you have won't insert into the Broadband port?

Judging by the equipment, you have VDSL, not fiber.
 
All of your equipment says VDSL, the speeds the plan offers fits inside of VDSL's range.

What is the problem you're facing right now?

Do you just need an RJ45 female to RJ11 male adapter?

Is the end that is on this cable already RJ11 (says it is in the picture):

If yes to both above, need a better picture of that RJ11 male connector.

Take a picture of the back of the modem if not done already.
 
Hi eidairaman1, I was thinking of getting my own as the wifi coverage on this one is not very good I used to use netgear have you any ideas.

at this rate just get a router and put your modem into ip forwarding/bridge mode when you hook up.

If your modem just has a rj11/12 connector and the box on wall has rj45, just get a rj45-rj11/12 adapter cable.

Be nice if a pic was taken of back of modem if not done already...

fiber to the Cabinet and then Copper to the House = British VDSL
I do have fibre at the moment I am getting 51mbs I should've getting 64 - 66mbs I am trying to make sure there is no problems inside before I complain,
They will tell you the Drop is between Cabinet and your home due to the Copper ( Unavoidable unless you pay for FTTP)

Here is the one I have.
:) got one of those in the loft ( cannot flash the firmware to make it non Crapcrap and actualy useful)
 
As far as I am aware, Fibre doesn't use the standard dsl "Broadband" port on a router, generally it has one of the Lan ports marked Wan/Lan for Fibre connection.
Those ports are red for a reason
 
as dorsetknob said I have fibre to the cabinet, aluminium and copper to the house.
 
That cable is so messed up...
no wire
green/white
orange/white
orange
green
no wire

If the above looks correct to you (the no wires are very, very important--the orange pair must be centered), I'd try:
[table="head"]Wire|Punchdown
orange|blue/white
orange/white|blue
green|green
green/white|green/white[/table]
I'm not 100% sure though because you're picture is backwards...trying to visualize it...

Edit: Yup, should be right:

Hi couldn't get the other box to work ended up going with this adapter signal back up to 60mbs but it drops in wet weather to 51 so it seems like another argument with my ISP at least they can't blame the wiring inside the house.
