    hi guys, so i bought a android box for the tv, it crashes a lot but is fine on ethernet cable cable, is there a way of connecting a upc thomson router to the box,s ethernet port. i can plug an ethernet cable at each end of router and android box , so could i just cut the ends off the ethernet cables and join with some 3pair telephone cable?

    Nope.

    If your thompson isnt near the TV where you want the box buy a pair of Powerline Adapters (AKA Homeplugs).

    Or just buy a longer Ethernet cable. Max operational length 100m
