You should put your modem next to the master socket, rather than extending the VDSL, as you will improve your line speed. Then extend the network with Ethernet out the back of the modem.
If you really must extend the Ethernet then use a VDSL filter that screws into your NTE5. That has internal terminals for wiring a twisted pair to where your modem is.
You only need 1 pair connected in the RJ11, middle two pins IIRC.

I need to run my filtered VDSL from the master socket in my loft, via Cat6 to an RJ45 socket in my lounge, in to which I'll be pluging my modem/router via what I 'think' is a cable with RJ11 on either end (not that it should matter too much, RJ11 goes in the RJ45).
Should I just wire up the Cat6 between master and slave sockets as per a notmal ethernet cable? i.e. wires on the same pins on either end?
I did have this straight in my head at one point, but didn't write it down and now I'm confused.
