Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

    Yeah, running the cable is probably not as big a deal as it seems at first glance. The wall plates are easy, use a fish tape to pull the cable through where you need to.

      They’re going to the second story so it might not be so simple if they need to drill down through into the lower floors wall cavity.

        This is why I had the builders put in a chase from the basement to the attic, because I knew I would be running cables at some point.

        If you don’t have one of those, you might be able to sneak through the framing next to something else that’s already there.
