Changing router's position

[arvark]

Hello, my wireless adapter only supports 2.4GHz, so instead of having 50Mbps+ I only have 10Mbps on my computer. My question is, instead of buying a new adapter or a longer ethernet cable (I have two but they are too short), I want to put my modem in my room, how can I do that? Do I just put the two plugs in an outlet in my room?

It's a little more complicated than just moving to different outlets.

 

You'd have to connect the cable providing a connection to modem to your room as well, thus still buying a longer cable. In the US, we use coax cables most of the time for example.

What do you mean? My router is connected to two outlets, one for power and another one through cables (which I think is the one that connects to the "internet"), http://prntscr.com/n5z2v1 something like this. Shouldn't moving this plug also move the cable?

 

Pardon my ignorance but I'm really that fond of networks

It also depends on what connection you are using. You can try it maybe it works.
But most of the time its easiest to get a longer ethernet cable.

You mean like fiber or ADSL? If so I'm a FTTN so it isn't fully fiber IIRC

Ah so its an DSL connection. Well those copperlines you want as short as possible cus they're higly reactive to outside interference slowing your data.
I would advise getting a longer ethernet cable.

Well thats not what the picture showed to be honest.
But for fiber the answer is easier, and is no.
(Well you could but mostly all over the world the fiber part can only be done by certified technicians.)

Oh, I see.

 

Definitely thought you meant something else XD

Have you researched Powerline? It uses your home's electrical wires as a form of transferring data.

My bad, I'm using FTTN so it's actually still DSL.

If the phone jack is connected to the same phone numbers in both rooms,  You should be able to move it.  You can always try, and if it doesn't work. move it back. (in case there was a POTS filter applied to the original jack elsewhere in the house)
