yeah but i need it as fast as possible.
over that distance you would need a range booster on a household wifi router or you would get a drop in speed.
I have a crimp tool & plugs, cable can be got for £13.50 - 50meters,

I wouldn't expect a drop until closer to 100 metres. 30 will be a doddle.

depends whats between the router and the computer though Ian... most home routers will struggle if there is a couple of walls, open air, no problem.

Cables still can't go through walls very well, they need the Black & Decker upgrade :thumbsup:
Ian, if you read my first post, I said about 40m WiFi..... not cabled, cabled is 100m usualy, or used to be.

You're not wrong, 2 walls and my SKY netgear wireless craps out completely :(

Yeah mine sucks too. You can get your sky details some way so you can use any router. Check out skyuser.co.uk, somewhere on there.
