About Wired Connection. help!

Hey!!


Stupid ish question. 

 

So I work from home, And as of right now We NEED to be connected wired to our Modem (for some kind of safety reasons)
And right now, I have like a 50Foot Lan Cable ( OR what ever its called) Running from my Modem to my Laptop. Runs from my living room to my office. Is there such thing out there, That plugs into the wall and lets you plug in the lan cable to it, and plug it into the Laptop? 

 

Or am i dreaming...

 

Thanks!

Why yes, there is. Powerline adapters.

They do work, however it all depends on your home wiring. It’s better to use a physical cable.

Power line adapters working depends on the quality of the electrical wiring. The distance between the adapters. Also, if you cross breakers you will encounter interference on slower speeds. Things that have heavy draw such as hair dryers can cause mega interference causing disconnection. Keep in mind that most power companies bring two hot wires in to your panel, each does 1 side of the panel. To be honest these were really designed to work on 1 circuit. While you can make them work on different circuits like I said, it will cause some loss in performance. Also remember that your electrical panel is served by two wires coming in from the power company, each wire does one side of the panel. So in order to get to circuit on the other wire, the signal will have to travel out to your meter and back in to your house. This can cause mega performance problems. 

 

Generally the only way to know if these will work is to try them. There also is MOCA which is similar but uses coax. Thats if you have coax near your modem and near your computer.
