Some modems and routers require a signal on the "outer pairs" instead of the "inner pairs" of an RJ-11 jack. You can use a line swapper or you can rewire your wall plate as shown. Note: If you rewire the wall plate as shown you will not be able to use most standard equipment that requires the "inner pairs".
