 Wire Networking Query - Zero
So lets get this right.

you want to move the router?

Your router is plugged into the phone pigtail via an thin RJ11 cable. Thats your "ADSl in" to the router, the Imac is plugged into the router by a thicker Rj45 cable, probably cat 5 (cat 5 is all you need - cat 6 is for much higher speeds than you use)

If it were me, I would simply drill a hole in the wall behind the socket, run a small length of telephone cable from the existing socket* to a new one on the other side of the wall, and fit a new telephone faceplate - with BT and RJ11 sockets on. Then move the router into the study and plug it into the new phone socket.

*connected to existing connections


Make sense?
