Converting Telephone cable to CAT6 & back again?
Discussion
I have/had our router (in modem only mode) sat next to the master bt socket connected to my router under the stairs via CAT6, I am wondering if there is any real benefit in this now & for the sake of the extra 20w on permanently I might just leave the Vodaphone router under the stairs and have it do the WIFI & connector to my wired network/etc... And remove they need for a second box 'o tricks.
Is it simply a matter of buying an adapter to convert the telephone wire out of my wall box to CAT6 & then back again?
Many thanks,

Thanks guys, any idea what I'd be searching for to find said adapter? Is a telephone cable technically cat3?

Is the 20W a measured figure, or a guess? I'd expect it to be much lower than that.
Im sure I measured it once, and it was 14w, but that was before I plugged 4 network cable into it! HootersGsy said:
Thanks very much, the female socket there looks very narrow for my CAT6 RJ45 cables? Is that just the angle of the photo?silentbrown said:
It's not the router-modem that has 4 LAN cables, though?
No, The Original setup was BT modem->CAT6-> Belkin router. Then Belkin would do my wifi then into the 4 ports was my network splitter, NAS etc etc. It was this Belkin that was around 15W IIRC.Seeing as the Belkin Router I use is now several years old, i figure I might get a tiny boost in range going with a modern (ish?) Vodaphone router which might just get me the wifi I want in the Garage (it's borderline as is) combined with saving a smidgen of 'leccy.
Now I just wanted phone socket -> CAT6 -> Vodafone Modem/Router (until it pisses me off through one way or another)
Still struggling on this one.
I need the reverse of the below.
I need make telephone call plug to female ethernet socket? The above suggestions seem to be the reverse of this ala....? I think?
