Just moved into a new flat and have had phone lines sorted etc.
The engineer has put the main socket at one end of the flat, the living room is at the other end. I mentioned to him about the fact it seems far away and signal issues. He mentioned a solution but to me it doesn't seem viable. Here it is :
Apparently there is a cable to take the RJ11 ?? to Ethernet. Plug that into the the hub that feeds the whole flat. Move the router into the middle of the flat and do the reverse, Ethernet to RJ11 and into the router. Here's a pic if it is of some use.
To me thought this doesn't seem to make sense, surely the phone signal isn't going to get sent through the Ethernet ? or perhaps im a bit of a dullard. Perhaps a wireless extender of some sort ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
