you have DSL, not cable.
What point are you trying to make? Routers and modems exist in both DSL and Cable setups.
Wall jack goes to modem, modem goes to router, router goes to computers.
i know you're not retarded, so please reread. clearly it was an error of misidentification on my part, as phone jacks do not go into routers, they go into modems.
@OP:
are you sure you're looking at a phone jack and not an ethernet cable?
also, if it turns out that its cable, don't move it. cable works like this:
streetline-SPLIT-house-SPLIT-TV-SPLIT-X number of tv jacks
| |
back internet
to
street
the first split breaks the cable in two: one that loops to the rest of the houses on the street, and one that loops to your house
the next split, within your house, splits the cable line into two again: one that leads to your broadband internet, which takes a lot of juice to get good speeds, and one that leads to another split.
the final split leads to all of your TV jacks. for an average house i'd say 5-10 jacks exist, which means 5-10 times your cable power is split in half.
now, that jack in your room is at the end of these splits. so, thats 1/2 X 1/10 in a worst case scenario, or, if you plug your modem into that cable line, its got 1/20th the capacity it has on the dedicated line in your brother's room.
moving it would be a very very bad idea.
