My Fibre connection point is approximately 15 m from where my pc is. I'd like to setup a wired connection but my house only has BT jackpoints, just wondering if the following will work.

 

  • Plug RJ11 cable from the fibre modem to nearby BT jackpoint 
  • Plug RJ11 cable from a BT jackpoint near my pc to a BT socket-RJ45 adapter (like this one) to plug into my PC

Now if this works, does anyone know what would be the maximum speed possible with the RJ11 cable ? reason being I'd like to use this for Oculus Quest wireless streaming.

Hi, Fraser (coffeebaron) is the man to sort this for you, assuming what we understand is correct, ie ETP > Kitchen > Office > Lounge, then I would recommend you have all the legs (except the ETP) converted to ethernet, move the router to the workspace, use the kitchen to workspace link to ship the wan to the router, and then use the workspace to lounge link to ship the lan from the router to the smartTV.

 

If you are lucky you might be able to get the kitchen connection from the ONT to the workspace link all within the wall meaning no random cables on view.
