My residence, having been built in the early 1970's, internally has the old style twisted telephone wiring. I have CAT 5 from the outside box to the initial junction box just inside the house. Running a separate internal direct CAT 5 line for the modem only .......thanks, good suggestion

Yes, the dsl filter was installed by the phone company. Essentially it's a splitter - the incoming wire goes to the filter. The voice side to the old line location and the DSL side to a "second line" terminal in the box. I knew one of the local phone guys before he retired so I knew what to ask for.
I wired my house myself (all of it, there are three miles of AC wiring). After I got the splitter in I just peeled off a pair from the punch panel to a jack, and the DSL modem is in the basement right at the panel. Wireless worked OK from there but I got a separate antenna with a magnetic mount and stuck it to the circuit breaker panel up higher.
