I've a wireless router in the cellar, but can't get connect to it above the ground floor - which is fine for most use, but it would be useful to have the ability to connect to the net from the other floors. Also handy for visitors who perhaps haven't got wireless on their laptops, if that's possible nowadays!
My house is wired for two phone lines, with RJ11 sockets on all four floors. However, I only have one phone line actually in use. I was thinking that I could get a few RJ45 to RJ11 converters and use the spare line as network cabling.
Perhaps something like this:
Where SC, SG, S1, S2 are the sockets with convertors on each floor.
Is this going to work? Do I need a hub on each floor? Any other solutions?
Thanks.
