Got the router now. Just waiting on the migration/activation... should allegedly take place on Monday.
Hooked up my current router to the BT master socket yesterday, as suggested by Chrysalis.

Definite improvement on the 10db noise margin I had via the extension when I checked the stats last week.
So I then connected it back up to the extension as normal, & checked the stats again.

Odd
The stats are pretty much identical via master or extension - & the noise margin is for some reason better than it was when I checked a week ago: 10db on 26th Jan, 17db now.
