Can i use the external 4 pair BT cable and if so do i connect it using rj45 plugs

thanks
My first thought was to get a Netgear WNDR3700 router. This has dual band wireless, including 5 GHz which is rarely used domestically. The 2.4GHz band tests well up to 350 feet. That covers your 90 metres. The 5GHz band is weaker on 300 feet, but you get less interference on that because most other router s don't use 5GHz. If you have any trouble you can get a signal booster.
These solutions sound a lot less work than digging trenches and laying trunking.

Retails for £120 at Amazon
