Increase distance BT socket to router.

Ideally you want to scrap the filter, and get a mastersocket fitted which has an unfiltered output, ideally one internal and one external, giving future options. From the internal extension output, you run solid core ethernet cable for an ADSL extension, to your chosen location. Then install an RJ11 socket at chosen location, connect the solid core ethernet to that socket, then connect router to the socket using your broadband router cable.

You can reduce costs if desired by fitting an RJ11 to the ethernet cable and plugging it directly in, but the socket is a nicer solution. Similarly, you can get a double output faceplate from BT, which wont offer the neater internal solution, and plug a long adsl cable in to it - but solid core ethernet cable is a better conductor over long distances, so will be a better result.

Removing the filter removes a source of interference and degradation, so a big plus.

It's not ethernet leads that you need, it's an ADSL lead like No 2 in your links.

Edit: And try to get your modem high up to help coverage.

 

I am thinking that if this does not prove satisfactory in improving the wi-fi signal a wi-fi repeater or a wi-fi power-line adapter might be worth considering. But if the router has below par wi-fi performance in your particular property I'd actually be looking at replacing that first.

Obviously these are more expensive solutions than simply adding an extension cable to the router.

How much? That is a rip off ...

For basic cables in future, look at KENABLE https://www.kenable.co.uk/en/search?controller=search&poscats=0&s=vdsl+cables a 10m cable £1.99 and of same or better quality. They are also on ebay, where prices are a little more but include P&P.

 

My proposal would give the best improvement without buying new equipment or routers, and overall would be pretty cheap. Yes ADSL extension will work, but those filters are garbage and always fail in the end - id recommend buying a new filter and changing that too, if you insist on keeping it.

 

Following my above comment - Kenable is a small family business, about 20 years old that was started in their garage. And they still offer great service on many styles of cables, phone, networking, video &c along with various accessories. And their prices are always sensible. I use some of their HDMI cables - no issues on quality.

 

The best solution would be to run a 10 or 15m Ethernet patch lead to a new WAP - not the cheapest but proably just as easy as moving the hub - plus any extra internal pick-up of moise will be minimised.

 

yes that may also be a solution - id go for a mesh if you were going to spend money, but in the case of my mothers place, we got a very good improvement by moving the router near to ground floor ceiling and in to middle of the house, using my recommended method.

 

And from Kenable £1.93 + 0.89p delivery £2.82

Better? Experience with plenty of cables from various sources.
