Problem with wired internet connection

hiphoprap · 10-18-2009, 08:56 AM

Hi,

My house has an Edimax wireless router which is great, but my room is just out of range to be able to pick up the wireless signal.

There is a cable connected to the router which goes to my room, but I plug the cable (some sort of phone cable) into my laptop but it doesn't connect to the internet. Are there settings I need to install or change?

I have tried turning the router off and on but the problem is still there.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
