HI
We have 2 pc's up stairs and a laptop downstairs. The 2 PC's upstairs are wired to a Netgear DG834G router and the lappy is wireless. The Router is on an telephone extension cable from the master socket to upstairs.
We are having some connection problems atm and keep loosing connection and got told the router should be plugged in to the master socket downstairs.

Is there anyway we can set this up so that the router is downstairs and the 2PC's upstairs are still wired to it?
I read you use RJ45 cables, does this mean I would need 2 of these cable to go up stairs, 1 for each pc?
Or is there an extension cable that works from the master socket to the router?
