Hello. My house is connected to a telephone line using a 6 wires cable which gives me internet. Only two blue and white-blute cables are connected to a socket, a router from ISP is connected to that socket using some kind of flat-RJ11 (UK BT socket?), next thing in the network is my OpenWRT router which is the central point of my network. I would like to remove the router from ISP which would require me to rewire that socket.
Problem is that 6 wires cable. Is it possible to convert it from 6 wires to 8 wires ethernet cat5? I don't want to rewire everything in the house, just want to replace the custom router with my own, and configure OpenWRT to connect using ppoe.

do I just need to connect blue-blue, whiteblue with whiteblue etc, and ignore brown and white-brown? There are connectors like this on market[1], so it must be possible, but so far every my attempt failed.
