CAT6 cable length extender?
I currently have a wireless home network. I installed Linux Xandros onto a hard drive and installed it into my sons computer. Unfortunalty, after some researching, no Linux OS's are currently wireless adaptable. Even though I currently have the router in a lower heigth location than it should be because of the cable length, it still works, but I want it back into a higher location for stronger signal strength, and my sons pc is in a location where it has to be. Is there some kind of adapter that will connect to the rj45 connector so additional cable can be added to it?
Thanks,Jim

So, you need to make your CAT6 cable longer... officially, you shouldn't do it... you have to replace the run with continuous cable. Now, that said you can buy a coupler, such as this one. You may or may not have reduced performance because of the added connections, but it may be worth trying before running new wire.
