Red face Need help getting internet into room
Hi sorry if this is in the wrong section or anything, I'm completely new to this forum. I really need some help getting the internet into a bedroom.
The bedroom is situated over the top of a garage and has thick insulation, so much so that you can't get a wireless signal into the room.

There is a phone socket by the computer above the garage, and there is a phone socket by the computer in the house. I have already tried connecting another router to the computer above the garage but that didn't work as I don't think you can run two routers off one phone cable. And I have tried wireless obviously but it couldn't get a signal in the room above the garage.

Basically, does any one have any ideas of how I could get the internet in the room above the garage and in the house, without using wireless?

Thanks for your help and I'm sorry if that didn't make any sense

I noticed that my PC can pick up the Router's signal from the Server a lot easier and double the Mbps if I keep my Room open. You could try keeping your door open or try getting a Modem from a Copany such as Virgin Media and AOL.

Run an ethernet cable is the obvious, and best, choice.
