Got a home network.
4 Port Router
1 PC (Mine on the 2nd Floor)
2 PC's on the 1st floor + router.
The router is 20m or so from my room.Got a cable at the moment but i want 2 net connections.
Do i
a) buy another huge cable and use the last port?
b) can i buy one from wall plugs(Rj45 ethernet wall socket for 2 ports), But would i need 2 lines or wire going to that or could i share one somehow?
Here diagram
PC1+2 are 1st floor.
Si
Dotted proposed idea

As for working downstairs, what's your house made of? Works fine upstairs/downstairs in our circa-1985 plasterboard house, but siting of the AP/router and antenna positioning is crucial.
Should be compatible with PS2 via an Ethernet->wireless bridge (but they're ludicrously expensive for what they do -- cost almost as much as an AP!)
