So for context, I live in a rural part of my country and up until a few months ago, we had DSL internet and the router was placed in our house so It provided signals everywhere and I could hook up my computer with ethernet. Now that we have upgraded to an optic fiber connection, it includes 3 things. Internet, TV and telephone. This is what causes the problem. For convenience, the new router was placed in my living room, where the TV is, so they could easily connect it to the set top box. The problem now is that the router doesn't cover the whole house with WiFi Signals, and a range extender significantly lowers the internet speeds. I was wondering if the existing phone lines in my house could be used to carry internet? My house has 3 RJ-11 jacks. One near my router, one in the middle of the house (Where the DSL router was placed) and one near my room. Could this work somehow? It would save me the hassle of running a long ethernet cable all the way from my router to my computer.
The house is single story, and I can't really make any major modifications to the wiring in the house like drilling in the walls to install a completely new network, as the residence is provided to me by the company I work for. (Rural area, as I said before).
I mainly want a wired connection for better ping while gaming. The higher speed is a benefit but I wouldn't mind losing a little bit of speed. (eg when I tried a long ethernet cable, I was getting 100Mbps down and up speed. I wouldn't mind if that dropped to about 30/40. Just need good ping)
