ONT box in hallway, help moving router?

[Jamieleewv]

Hi guys I currently have full fibre with talk talk on the 500mb package, the ONT box and router are currently in my hallway as pictured, my router very awkwardly sits on top of the ONT box. 

I would like to move my router into the living room area, is there anyway of doing this without running an Ethernet cable into the living room? 

I've saw some people using powerline adapters that plug directly into the ONT enabling them to move the router into the living room without having to run cables through, is there anyway of doing this? 

Or is my only option having to run an Ethernet cable all the way through the hallway into the far corner of the living room where I'd like to reposition the router.

I would need to know the make/model of PLA that you have, is it an Ethernet-only model?

Hi Keith thanks for the reply. Sorry for the late response I've been away on holiday. 

How would I find out if the PLA's have the correct speeds, would they work better than just soley relying on the wifi from the hall to the living room? Are there any sacrifices when using those over just using the normal wifi?

Obviously I would prefer wired ethernet but guessing that's not possible without just using a long cable.

Hi Jamie,

I can see that Keith has given you some good advice, please let us know if you need any further assistance

Cat 6 Ethernet will always be the best, but you can probably get away with PLAs, providing that they support 1Gbps on their Ethernet ports & 1Gbps over the mains wiring as well.
