Hey,
I require help converting a wireless signal into a wired network, for internet use.
I just moved into a house share, and to my surprise there is no ethernet port in my room or anywhere nearby.
The router itself is located on the top floor and although I do have a 20m ethernet cable handy, I don't think my new house mates would enjoy a long cable placed throughout the house, also my room door seems to seal itself shut, I doubt I could feed a cable through anyway.
With this in mind, I can no longer use my PC online, as it has no wireless card (I much prefer a secure, reliable wired connection, I always see wireless as a gimmick for phones). So I am stuck using my laptop, which has wireless enabled.
So I was just wondering if anyone knows of a way to convert wireless signals from a wireless router, to a wired connection. I have a switch on hand, with 8 ethernet ports, and I have several ethernet cables.
I have found a phone line, but I have no idea if it works. I found a filter, allowing an ADSL cable or a phone cable to connect. I may try getting hold of an RJ11 to RJ45 cable and hope the phone line socket is working fine.
Thanks for reading!
