Thread: Phone socket

You could just put a wireless card in the computer. They are only about $30.

Hi Dullbird. Having spent 34 years doing that, the simple thing is to parallel the two wires on terminals 2 and six with a new cable and run it to your computer and connect another socket to the same numbered terminals. Jim

It's really easy, just piggy back the wires of the existing socket (or splice) while match the colours of the wires and wire up your second socket that same as your first.

do you mean a wireless card on to the motherboard or a dongle?

because the computer has a wireless card it just fails to connect properly (hasn't done from the get go of when it was first built) I don't know whether its the card or its the strength of the wireless setup I have, when it did go back to the shop the wireless worked fine apparently.

I just want to hard wire the computer now I think for the internet just so I can get on and use it like I bought it for

however my laptop and TV connect fine to the wireless and they have even more walls between then and the router than the computer oes in the study.

Do you have security settings on the router?

You may find that it is the security settings that's preventing the computer accessing the router.

it can access it just chooses not to...it might connect one day out of 10....

trust me I have had these issues for a very long time, and we have looked at various different things over that time to try and fix it.

The computer went back to dave at one stage for other issues and the wireless I believe never missed a beat. its possibly just an incompatibility problem.. a number of people have had issues with this particular card not connecting I have read heaps online about it.

I have updated software etc, I have updated Bios all sorts under Daves direction it just doesn't work I have also change routers...its time to wire up make life easy
