Invisible_Man Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi,Just split up with my GF so she's moved out with the kids and my dads moves in with his GF......great Anyway as such I've now just got a double room. What ID like to do is move the VM router to my room so I can have everything wired rather than wireless.As luck would have it the little brown VM box is right outside my window. Is it possible to unscrew the current cable which runs to the living room, screw on a new extension, feed it through the window and reattach the router? I don't want to ask virgin media as they want nearly 100 quid!Thanks in advance?IM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I would open up the external box, see whats what and proceed from there. the cable is specific apparently and not commonly available.. so if you want 'new' bear that in mind. I have seen it for sale on Amazon. in 5m and 10m lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicklucey Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 As long as the ends of the cables are plugged into the same sockets as they were before and you have the right type of cable in between you should be fine. Might want to run the cable indoors though instead so you don't have to have your window open all the time though, or drill a new whole in your bedroom wallSent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible_Man Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hey,Found a much easier solution. I bought some power line network plugs and the speed is great! Plugged in and working within 30 seconds.Besides he's gf is an annoying overbearing PITA so I'll soon be moving out!Thanks for all the advice,Shaun.
