    Virgin Media Landline

    Can anyone answer this for me?

    I have just received a little lead to plug into my hub, I then need to plug my landline into the other end. Problem is that my hub is upstairs and my landline downstairs.

    Is there a way to connect this via a TP-LINK power line?.

    We've a set of Panasonic cordless phones, the main base unit is plugged in to the hub downstairs and the other handsets are upstairs just requiring a power supply. Works fine

    But will it work with the hub upstairs and the phone down stairs?

    You'll need to leave a phone upstairs plugged in to the hub and have another handset on the same cordless network downstairs

    I'm sure it's not what you meant - but just in case; you need to plug your telephone handset into the lead and the lead into the router/hub. Your "landline"- i.e the wire that the telephone handset previously plugged into, is now redundant.

    RJ11 to RJ45 I believe or similar - so you can plug a analog phone into the Ethernet port

    We moved our base station upstairs close to the hub (although we got a longer lead off eBay as it wasn't long enough for where we wanted to put it) and the one that was upstairs to where the base station was.

    If you don't have a RJ45 socket on your base station, they should have sent you a short adaptor cable as well.

    I think this is what I shall need to do, was hoping to have my base station downstairs and my hub upstairs. But seem like this is not going to be possible.

    Same issue here, two wired landlines downstairs, hub upstairs in a room that will not have phones in it.

    Let the games begin
