Lan cable from the phone jack?
We will change our internet provider in the near future. So far I have connected my laptop via Wi-Fi. I would like to change this now (in order to have a lower ping and faster download times). Before that we had internet via the television cable. Now it probably comes through the phone cord.
I have a telephone connection in my room (see picture). Is it possible to connect an adapter or something like that? And I have to connect an adapter or something similar to the router. Can you recommend me something there or is that not possible?
(The telephone connection for me is not used, but there's also a telephone next to the router)
If the router has a LAN socket, you can connect your laptop directly to it using the Cat6 network cable. If you want to connect several computers to the router via LAN, you have to interpose an Ethernet switch if the network connections on the router are not sufficient.
Router goes to the TAE socket in the respective room (Rj45 to TAE plug) and the same with your laptop in the respective room, just have to look how the sockets are switched and that the socket is not the DSL connection
But you need a connection cable or? The router is quite far away and I don't want to run a cable through the whole house or do some drilling to let it run through the wall
Thanks, can you also tell me how to find out?
You can only connect the router to one of the phone sockets.
Ethernet via the telephone cabling is usually not possible (then it would only be possible via internal DSL again, but such modules are not cheap and you should know what you are doing).
So you could either just place the router in your room or run an ethernet cable from the router to you.
If neither is possible, only alternative connection options such as e.g. WLAN or Powerline.
Many thanks for your response. I think that Powerline is best for me then. Which speeds or which ping is possible with it? Because a part is wireless, the entire speed will certainly not arrive. (We then have either 100 Mbit or 250 Mbit and the router is right in the room below me. I could take Powerline into my room)
Powerline goes over the power line and is not wireless, but the result depends on the individual case and can run from very good to unusable at all.
