Hello
Can't connect with ser up to BT router. To far away for ethernet.
Asking for ISP name and pw? Advice appreciated.

Just to make sure, does your setup have wireless?

#

If so, I'm pretty sure it should simply show up in the Network section?

Try a powerline adapter. Gives you a wired connection and you just need to make sure you have a spare plug socket next to your pc, and your router

#

Super easy to setup

#

You get 2 plugs and 2 ethernet cables. One plug goes next to your pc, and connects with an ethernet cable (plug the cable into the plug, with the other end going into your pc)

Second plug goes next to your router (same setup as pc where you have the ethernet connected into your plug, with the other end going into your pc)

Router is nowhere near the pc. That's the issue

#

That's the magic with the powerline adapters Gordan mentioned, they use your existing electrical wiring to transmit the signal.

#

As long as the house isn't too dated with electrical wiring, most use cases work

My house is old af and it works fine

#

My router is downstairs, and my pc is upstairs

#

Still have a wired connection though

Dedicated routers... anyone?

Because of the power-line adapter

Nah TP-Link do good PCIE network cards too, if you have onboard wifi though it can conflict unless you disable the onboard wifi

Sadly I've had issues with their t4E for a friend's build

Had to install unofficial drivers to make it not fuck up 100 times a day
