I have just had an Optical Network Terminal installed. My desktop PC is on another floor. How do I link the two?

An ONT only links to its router (Hub) using an ethernet cable. Client devices link to the router over WiFi, ethernet or Powerline networking.

Problem solved. My desktop PC was not WiFi enabled which I didn't know. Bought a Wireless USB Adapter.

@Contrarian18 That will certainly make the connection you need/needed and that USB/Wi-Fi adapter will be connecting to the sky Hub and onward to the Internet through the ONT!
