Router is too far away - can I use a repeater?

[34woody]

Brother MFC-7360N needs a Cat 5 connection to the router, and it's over 40 feet away. Can I use a local repeater and connect the Cat 5 cable to that?

No.

You are talking about a wired connection, so just buy the cat-5e cable length you need.

or if you're really off about the distance and it's >100ft:
