When you are looking at cables make sure you get a cat5e patch cable. The length and colour are up to you
Thanks I was uncertain of that spec cable.

For locating the PC much further away,say upstairs for example,the mains network adaptors are probably the best way to go since they use the house wiring as the "network".The 7day ones in my link are good for 200Mbs and £29.99 a pair.

I believe you are right about wired being both faster and more reliable and it`s that route I`ll adopt when I need to move the PC.

You are a brilliant helpful crowd on here and I`m glad to "know" you guys.

Regards,Dave.
