Top left, then a phone extension cable with the filter on the other end, which then has cable to phone( which I don't use) and cable hub/ router

@loucook31  Okay with that wall socket you can't ditch the filter as the router dsl cable that plugs into the filter would not fit. You can plug the filter in the socket and get a longer DSL cable if you do not use the phone and just run that cable to where you want to have the router in position.

@loucook31  Yes you can get longer cables, but not too long. It is an rj11 - rj11 cable.
