Second Router Without Coax

[mudheart994]

Is it possible to set up a second router (ethernet connecting to the PC I'm going to use) without a coax cable?
Thanks in advance

Hello USAFRet,
I am trying to set up a gaming lounge area in my room, however, I have no coax cable leading up to my room.
I currently have verizon router as my main system.
I have a second router, a Motorola, that is in my room and I need to connect it to my PC via ethernet.

What you should do is run an ethernet cable from the Verizon router up to where the gaming lounge is. Plug that into a switch. Off that switch, multiple devices.
You can use another router, but only if you turn off most of the router functionality, making it just a switch.

I can't run an Ethernet between for now, its a 2 floor difference,
any other ideas?
I need it ASAP.

A powerline solution might work.
2 small devices, plugged into the wall. At one end, ethernet from the router to the powerline
At the other end, the other powerline, and ethernet out to whatever devices you have.
It sends the signal through the house wiring. Not as fast as a direct Cat5e, but better than wifi, and better than nothing.

What do you mean by 2 small devices plugged into the wall?

Could I do anything now?
I've got a little WiFi usb, an extra router, and an ethernet cable.
Anything I could do with that?

From wherever the main router is...to wherever the gaming lounge is....can you get a reliable WiFi signal? Probably not.

Not at all.
Is that all?

In a residence, getting data from one place to the other, in decreasing order of capability:
Ethernet cable
Powerline or possibly MoCA adapter
WiFi
sneakernet

If the equipment you have on hand can't do it, then you need to buy something else.
