Thinking of moving the BT phone socket thing to other side of the room so all the wires from the wireless router and stuff can be hidden behind the tv . Can it be done DIY or do i need an electrician , the wire i think would have to rerouted round the outside of the house then back through the wall to back of tv unless another way can be thought of that anyone might know .

yes it can be done just dont hold the wires when some one phone's the line
what socket is it normal type or twin type one for line and internet....

you get a belt of electric when the line is called if holding the wires.

Make sure you use the correct external cable

Tis twin type 

can just use an linc line and leave it were it is, as have on mine  twin type has a built in adsl filter and you dont need any other adsl's in line to keep your broad band working. but line in take cover off and will see a socket black with 3 parts to put the wires on, linc new line in there with new line and socket new socket tells you wire code, then you dont need to use that socket any more.

I think the answer is "No" actually - IIRC BT own the master socket (even if it's inside your premises) so while you can remove the faceplate of a split front master socket, you can't remove the rear or mess with the wires that enter it from the outside world.

You can pay BT to come and do it, of course..

Naturally if you want to ignore that then you can, just use good telco crimps to connect the wires (grease filled crimps). Or, as someone suggested, run an extension from the master socket to where you want it internally..

What he said ^

If it's the master socket, you need BT to move it, or you can wire an extension and leave it there.

If it's an extension already, it all depends how it's wired.

What i want to do is have access to plug the ethernet into the router then the tv , but currently need the router moving to other side of room then i can plug from router to tv . Phone line needs to be connected though 

Am i right in thinking the BT box on the wall has one line for internet only and one for phone only ? If so im going to need an extension for internet cable to router when moved internally "i think"

dose the twin socket have adsl on it on the bottom right side with v1 or v2 on it, if it dose you can put a line any were and put a twin socket in that dose not have an adsl filter in and it will work what you need if it dose not have the adsl filter socket your new line you put in will need one (a filter) then it will work as before.

Nothing written on the bt box but it is a twin connection . One for phone one for internet both connected .

I have a D link if thats any use

I know where your coming from but when the window installer cut through our incoming wire BT wanted £180 and couldn't come for 3 weeks. I hopped up the ladders and connected a new cable into the junction box( on my house !!),ran it into the house and moved the master socket to somewhere more convenient location. 20 minutes and already had the cable. RIP OFF AND CRAP SERVICE!!

You probably have a filtered faceplate that's providing an unfiltered ADSL connection and a filtered phone connection.

If you only want an internet connection at the other side of the room, another option is to run a Cat 5 cable from your router to the other side of the room and leave the router where it is.
