People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Not knowing what the device is from that picture, I'll just complain about overly-bright LEDs.

:P

Without seeing it from another angle it could be the new BigPipe Ethernet over Cat 2 rate limiter?

I see a few things wrong in that picture (such as no wired lan), but am I right in assuming that the expected answer has nothing to do with the modem/router itself, but instead is something in the background?

You are all noob.

DSL light isnt showing and WiFi is solid, must have no data transfer over WiFi...

MY filter is black and has green, orange and blue wires. Not some weird unrecognisable generic beige one...

Oh, and it's in the roof. That makes it better, by about 42 points.

There's an ADSL filter, should be a master filter!

You're right, what you don't see is that this is actually BigPipe UFB. The filter thing is just a red herring, there is no DSL.

It's a speed filter. It helps make the internet go faster.
