Connect your PC to the router for better internet access.
Connect your PC to the router for better internet access.
You're starting from scratch and looking for ways to boost your Wi-Fi signal. It sounds like you have a few setup options, each with pros and cons. A powerline adapter is a budget-friendly choice but may not offer the best performance or reliability. The Devolo Powerline Adapter is a solid pick if you want stability and decent speed. If you prefer something more advanced, the Moca adapter is known for better results but comes at a higher cost and requires careful handling of cables. The ScreenBeam Moca Adapter is another reliable option with good speed. Since you're unsure about the coaxial setup, going with a powerline adapter seems like a safe bet. Have you checked the condition of your coax cable before making a decision? Also, checking Amazon.es for recent reviews might help you find better deals or updated models.
RJ25 might refer to RJ12 or RJ11. Remove the plate from the wall and verify the cable details and number of conductors. You may need to connect cat5 or cat5e and switch from phone to data use. What internet speeds are you billed for, and is installing a new cable an option?
How close is your computer to your router? You might connect it with a lengthy Cat 6 Ethernet cable straight from the router. Just in case, RJ-25 is a phone connector used for wired phones, but it can’t deliver internet over Ethernet. Common types include RJ11, RJ14, and RJ25 for different service lines. While these are standard in the U.S., they’re also used globally. Powerline adapters function, though their performance drops. You should consider the wiring layout in your home—many rooms use separate circuits, which can block adapters. Your signal also struggles against household electrical noise. I haven’t used Moca before, but there’s a video about it. A dedicated wire would likely be more stable and faster, even though coax still uses just one wire. A regular Cat 6 Ethernet cable has eight wires (four pairs). Before proceeding, inspect your home wiring to confirm the same circuit connects the router to your PC. The safest option is probably a very long cable, though it’s hard to tell how far your router is from your computer.
The photo alone isn’t sufficient to identify the device type. There are six pins, but without more details it’s hard to determine what it is.
Assumed it's an Ethernet connection because of the @ symbol. To verify the same path from the router to the PC, check the physical wiring and cable connections.
What is your Wi-Fi configuration? Which router and computer are you using? How many walls separate the router from the PC? Are you noticing interruptions or just sluggish connections? If you can access your electrical panel, try turning off power in one room to check if the other also loses power. Otherwise, hardware stores often sell circuit testers if you're interested in that route. I’ll expand on my earlier comments regarding powerline adapters. Remaining on the same circuit isn’t essential but remains the optimal choice. Some breaker panels include filtering between circuits, which might affect adapters. Generally, if you’re connected to the main feed—such as within the same house—they should still function, though performance may drop significantly, typically around a quarter of expected speed or similar to regular Wi-Fi.
Router is the main network device for the company, featuring Wi-Fi with dual-band AC, WAVE2, and MIMO 4x4 capabilities. The PC is connected via the default WiFi antenna on its motherboard. There are three walls separating the PC from the router. You're noticing intermittent connectivity issues and slow speeds. Yes, they seem to be on separate circuits, though I'll verify later.
Looking for another way if possible... Locate the ends of the telephone cable within the wall plates. If you don’t need the cable and the ends are suitable for router and PC connections, just run Cat5e or Cat6 cable through the same walls. Replace the wall plates at each end and plug in your router/PC. Some installations with built-in cables might secure cables to studs, making this method ineffective.
this would be the best bet, but again only if the cable isnt stapled. also theres no guarantee that the telephone jack runs into the room we need, so pulling it through wouldnt do much. i would definitely also reccomend looking into a higher end aftermarket router, or adding a new access point as a middle man between your router and pc. like putting it in a hallway halfway between your router and pc. pretty much most things ubiquiti is good, though im not that up on all the good networking brands. also tp link, or synology. could also keep an eye out for these brands but used, and even find cisco stuff used
