Ender Hypersonic July 14, 2015 Share July 14, 2015 the most run lan cable outside the house window Got to engage spiderman to lay the outside cable. Can try carpet the house, and lay the cable underneath it. Ask you guys, where to get phone-Ethernet adapter like this... I know Amazon is selling but locally does anyone sell? Like Element14? Does this work? the number of small cables is different for the phone and ethernet. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain expose area quite unsightly.. got to make sure i don't dropped the tek koh onto someone head below. actually I did that but it was not for lan cable it was for high pressure water hose (I place my high pressure water jet machine, then the high pressure hose, I link to the toilet by going thru the external of the building. I use tek koh to do. but need two man job. one guy hold tek koh, the other to grab the other end of the hose) to hold the hose tight, I use cable tie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once exposed to outside weather, means possibly lightning strike can hit the cable. And confirmed the equipment will get fried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratovarius Turbocharged July 14, 2015 Author Share July 14, 2015 You live in one of the newer HDBs? Your house might already have LAN cables installed in the wall socket... Just need to do some modification. Actually, most of the newer condos also should have it. Ya. think can change from rj11 to rj45 socket. Not sure if i can pull out the cover w/o damaging the wall. That's why quite reluctant to change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matoonia 6th Gear July 14, 2015 Share July 14, 2015 I went through this situation couple of months back. Explored the options discussed here. I suggest TS to try to move around the existing router to the best central location for a start. Even 2-3 metres I feel a difference liao. This is the easiest way for me, and now my EM (2 storey HDB) has Wifi signal everywhere, even in my master bedroom toilet which is blocked by staircase and 2 doors.

Stratovarius Turbocharged July 14, 2015 Author Share July 14, 2015 Power plug is another option. http://www.tp-link.com/common/subject/powerline/TL-PA211/ Might give this a try. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrino Supercharged July 14, 2015 Share July 14, 2015 Funny thing is I have two very solid pre cast concrete walls between my router and the PC in my study. I don't get any drop off in download speed at all. Not even 0.1Mbps. Anyway if there had been a severe drop off when we moved in 4 years ago my plan was to run cable through the A/C ducting which runs between all rooms or as last resort Power plugs sometimes known as Home Plugs.

Lala81 Hypersonic July 14, 2015 Share July 14, 2015 I have ac68 at TV console area. Have lan ports in my room. But it connects to my android box. But wifi in my room is still patchy especially with closed doors. Usually it's only 15 mbps only which is liveable. Bought a cheap tenda router from aliexpress but it can't f ING act as an access point. Anyone knows if a cheap tp link wireless n router can do that? The 20 plus dollar one at challenger. Don't want to spend too much. Not going to move my router also. My starhub d link router was donated to my in laws place. So I don't have any other spare routers... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
