Joining my computer to the new system

[1rialli1]

I have my new system connected today and this is one side of the room and my old broadband connection is on the other side of the room. It looks like I'm going to need a long lead to connect to my new router, is that correct or is there another way ?

Hi @1rialli1 please confirm if you still need assistance.

Or, for a more permanent connection akin to hard wired to your router but via your electric circuits there are powerline plugs.

Hi,

Instead of a long ethernet connection, and assuming your computer doesn't have a Wi-Fi card installed, I'd suggest buying a Wi-Fi dongle, then you can connect to your new router wirelessly.

A quick google search brings up many such devices, so the choice is yours but best to check the range etc so you get one to meet your needs.

Hello there @1rialli1, just to double check, are you currently referring to the router power cable or the yellow cable which will make your connection to be wired?
