My mother in her infinite wisdom has decided she wants to go wireless so she can use her new laptop in the kitchen. Of course she needs a wireless router but she can't plug the router directly into the main telephone socket. Will she be ok using an extension or will this not work?
using extension to plug into wireless router
- Thread starter andyp
- Start date
Depends on the length (ohh-err missus) and quality of the extension cable
Why if it's wireless access you want can't it be plugged in close to the actual telephone socket?
No power source to plug the router into where the telephone socket is. My parent's place is laid out funny, it has a really long narrow hallway without any power outlets and the main telephone socket is up at the far end of it.
