    I've recently moved into a new house and the phone port / router is at the front door. I'm looking to have the router moved into the back room of the house, is this possible?

    Do I just book an engineer to come out and install?

    9 times out of 10 when people have trouble with their DSL broadband it's internal phone wiring. With DSL (broadband over phone lines) I would not touch the default Eircom phone socked, connect the modem only using the original cable.

    What you can do instead is go to Argos/Amazon and buy yourself a long newtork cable that plugs into one of the yellow ports. An easier option would be to use a powerline adapter which comes with a built-in wireless access point.

    Or you could keep the exisitng router where it is and get a mesh network to cover the house in wifi
    Something like the tplink deco m4
