The cable you would need would be RJ45 or 'Ethernet' cable. You woul dbe able to get it at sufficient lengths from screwfix, toolstation or an electrical wholesalers.

But, assuming you have mains power to all the rooms around the house where you would use the computer, then you might be better off just buying a network over mains kit - the 'sender' would be plugged into a mains socket near your router and connected to one of the free ethernet ports, and the 'receiver' could be plugged in to any other socket in the house on the same circuit and connected to the network port on your pc/laptop.

Or.. ditch Sky and its restrictive policies for a provider that gives you the freedom to use the type of router that meets your needs!

I would have done but the simple mains jobby is about £40 delivered and still needs to be wired to the laptop, 1 wireless transmitter is about £50.

A 25metre ethernet cable is £4, elementary MSE my dear Watson:money::money:

Anyway that's the way I've decided to go so thanks to all who replied.:T:T

I'd say that was peace at a bargain price!
