Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

    Others have already said EoP but I wanted to bring another option to the table. If your house had Coax run in the rooms either for an antenna or cable and its no longer in use, you can use a MOCA adapter, which transmits Ethernet over coax. This method doesn’t have the flaw that the EoP method does where your throughput gets killed if its on a different circuit.

      If you do this be sure to either disconnect the coax going to the outside world if not in use or put a filter on the outside line so that you’re not feeding out to all your neighbors.

        good call, I was under the understanding the unused line would be isolated/not external, but yea some companies get lazy and never disconnect and just turn the service off on their side. This wouldn’t be a problem with Antenna setups but a cable setup defo check that!
