I have a laptop that is unfortunately not compatible with my 5G internet. Now I could lay a LAN cable through the whole apartment, but of course that doesn't look good either. Is there an adapter or something that I can plug into my room and then simply put the LAN cable from the adapter?
Your 5G internet?
Do you have a mast on the roof or what?
There are repeaters that you can use.
5gHz Wi-Fi?
What is 5G internet about you? Do you mean 5GHz WLAN?
As far as I know, routers that can 5GHz WLAN also have the option to broadcast 2.4GHz WLAN, which has been around for about 20 years - your laptop should be able to do that.
Otherwise you can check out DLAN. That is LAN through the socket. Can work well, but it can also work very poorly.
What exactly do you want to achieve? A laptop usually doesn't have a SIM card with which it could receive 5G at all, do you mean by "incompatible"? But where would you lay the LAN cable? Which WLAN standard does the laptop have and which does the target device (which is where the cable should go)? The situation is not yet completely clear to me. So
Which device is connected to the internet in your country?
What possibilities does this device have? Only LAN or also WLAN? Only 5Ghz or also 2.4Ghz?
And so that we can talk about a possible sensible solution right away, how old is your power cabling?
And which laptop is it?
But that's not called 5G
5G is reserved for 5th generation telecommunication.
Yes, thats exactly what I meant
Why not just use the Wi-Fi and connect the laptop to the router this way? Then you don't need a cable.
I guess now:
Do you have home 5G internet access?
You want to access the 5G router with your notebook and it doesn't work?
Then this could be due to the old encryption of your WLAN chip in the notebook. Modern routers no longer support WEP. And also with WPA it must be at least WPA2.
If all that doesn't help, I would buy an access point for 30 euro and connect it to the 5G router and then connect the notebook to the AP.
That should work in any case.
