move my pc?

[berniecuddles]

i tried to move my pc from one room to another and had to use an extension lead from my phone socket because of that i could not connect to the internet.
i have a router with a yellow wire which goes into my pc, is there any way i can use my router without the wires?
any ideas would be good thx!

only if PC has WiFi, many PC dont have WiFi most laptops do.

I should also have added that your router also needs to have WiFi, many do have it, you will need to check your handbooks.

Either get a better quality phone extension, or get a longer "yellow lead" (correctly called a ethernet cable)

I had the same problem. I have a BT Wireless Broadband ADSL router beside the phone and a Trendnet USB adaptor which you stick into a slot in tower. This means no wires are required between router and computer tower. Hope this helps.

If it's at all possible it's far better to keep desktop computers connected using wires, wired is superior to wireless in every way apart from portability, which is not really a benefit for desktops.

Flood wire your house in Cat6.

I wouldn't have expected anything less Chuck.

Well it seemed a shame to waste the left over wall boxes and cable from a job :)

I can't be bothered to cable mine so I'll put up with my wireless connection, I did run a long lead down the stairs but it didn't stand up to Molly chewing through it.
