Hi, looking for some advice....

our old copper connection comes into front of house, to a purpose built cupboard, where old router is plugged in with 4 lan cables going into it from devices.

the new fibre connection can only go into the other end of house. (long story)

once new fibre router working can I tell old router to connect to it over wifi, to act as a bridge for the 4 lan cables? 

or should I somehow try to get a CAT 7 cable from old router to new fibre one

 

thank you in advance

From your post I assume the new fibre connection is FTTP and the ONT needs to be fitter a back of house

are you a bt broadband Customer and getting upgraded?

Do yòu know if you are changing to digital voice with the FTTP install?  If so you need to use the SH2

Re: Hi,

Just because you are getting SH2 does not mean you are getting digital voice.  You should have been told that you are being moved to digital voice and offered a new phone to work with digital voice

A run of cat7 would be the ideal solution.
