Converting RJ11 to RJ45 requires changing the connector type while keeping the wiring intact.

Your FTTC connection metrics are generally fine despite a slightly low upstream speed—still fully functional. The wireless performance is a bit of an issue. Would you like me to adjust the Wi-Fi channel in your router? It’s been a while since I worked on this, but checking the link below could help: https://www.cbtnuggets.com/blog/certific...z-vs-80mhz. Alternatively, you might consider setting up a budget wireless access point and connecting it to your router to test if that improves things.
I can adjust the channel bandwidth from 20 MHz to 40 MHz, but I’m hesitant to make changes right now since others are using the Wi-Fi and I don’t want to risk disruptions or errors.
The issue has two parts. Your DSL provider offers standard internet performance. To achieve faster speeds you should switch ISPs. Options like fiber, coaxial, Starlink or mobile connections provide superior bandwidth. The modem/router side matters too; it's usually supplied by the ISP and may be outdated. You're likely eligible for free upgrades to newer gear from your provider. Polish ISPs generally require you to use their equipment, but you can purchase a separate modem or router. Review your invoice to confirm if rental charges apply—most US ISPs do, so it's probable in Poland as well. Overall speeds will still be limited to about 60-6 Mbps to external networks, but a modern router will improve reliability.
Step into the world of grown-up business and the pressures of late-stage capitalism. It’s rough—customer service lines are designed to drain resources, but learning to handle them is both challenging and worthwhile. So far, it’s paid off financially, and I’m convinced it’ll keep doing so. I can’t stand those calls, but I’ve saved a lot of money along the way.
I’d prefer not to switch to a completely wireless plan such as cellular or Starlink for a few reasons. The router comes from the ISP and is quite outdated, so I’m hoping to reach out in the hope of getting an improved device. Additionally, it’s tough to locate a modern router that includes RJ11 as a WAN port, based on what I’ve seen.
It should be simple, but you need to find the correct device—likely a VDSL modem or router. Even though you purchased one, because you mentioned PPPoE, you probably need to reach out to your ISP for the username and password to connect. They might not provide them, which means you could end up with an incompatible router. Always confirm with them before proceeding.
It costs around ten dollars for an USB to Ethernet adapter. Grab it now before making any major changes. It’s wiser to understand the situation first than to spend a lot only to fix nothing.
Mouse and keyboard require very little data transfer, making a USB3 hub with Ethernet and extra USB3 ports a smart choice. Dive into the world of dongles—spending a bit more could give you a 2.5Gb/s NIC.
