[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 1015001"] Here is the situation. My relative has smart TV and VU+ receiver about 8 meters away from the ADSL Modem/Router. The VU+ gets internet using a USB WiFi adapter and the TV needs a special LG WiFi dongle in order to connect to the internet, but the dongle is not cheap. I tried different WiFi adapters without luck. Ideally they should extend the landline cable by 8 meters so that it would be in close proximity to the TV and receiver and then use Ethernet cables instead of WiFi connection. This way the USB connector on the VU+ is freed and can be used for other uses like a WiFi keyboard. But when they asked the landline company about the cost, they told them about 50 Pounds, which is way too much. Would it be possible to use an additional WiFi router sitting next to the TV and the VU+ receiver without connecting a LAN cable physically between the ADSL Modem/Router and the new router? And then use two of the Ethernet ports to connect to the TV and VU+? [/QUOTE]
