Bit of help please

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered before but I looked for the answer and did not find it - or did not understand what I was reading as Im not the best on certain aspects of computer jargon!!!

Im with Eircom broadband and have my pc plugged into the phone socket in a bedroom. I need to move the computer into the attic and there is no phone line up there so I figure I need to buy something , wireless thingymajic ( told you im not the best!!) Can anyone guide me in simple terms on what I need to buy and do to make this happen. And the most inexpensive way to do it also! Many thanks in advance.

Cheapest way is to extend your phone line to the attic space. You might find that the cables are distributed from somewhere in your attic which would make it very simple to do this. A few €€ will sort out the material for this.

You also end up with a wired system which is better than wireless.

Hi,

Thanks for that but I wouldn't know where to start!! Its only a temporary thing hence looking to do it the cheapest way possible. Maybe I'll just get an extension cord and travel it up to the attic - messy going through 2 rooms and up into the attic but will work.

I think you're right to do it this way if it's only temporary. It's the cheapest, involves no "expert" labour and is reversible... no holes, etc.

It should work fine. Best of luck with it.

Thanks Avns. Yes, I think thats the way to go for me.
