Hello!

I recently built my own gaming computer, and I've been using a crappy wireless range extender with an Ethernet port to go online. I recently also moved a bookshelf in my room, and found an old phone jack.

Would it be possible to convert this phone jack to an Ethernet port? On my extender I get around 20 Mbps, and when I'm connected direct from the router I get 120+.

How expensive would it be to have Comcast install this? Or would it be easy to install myself? If someone could direct me to a really clear tutorial, or walk me through it?

Thanks!
