Sky router

[Derek2671]

OK so I'm decorating and I want to move my router to another room I know I have to make up a ethernet cable but where I need to put it there is no power cable so I was wondering if I got a 10m USB 2 cable and a connector would this work to power the router.

@Derek2671 NO, the router needs a 12V D.C supply that USB does not have, can you just not run a 240V extension cable along with your longer ethernet?

Hi Jim yes I understand that the question is from the plug supplied with the router could I extend this with a USB 2 to usb 2 connector then run a USB 2 extension cable to tje router

@Derek2671 You can only try and see what it does.
