Sorry if this is a very general question but I currently have a wifi connection for my desktop in my home office. I’d like to hard wire directly to my router but my router is in my living room. Does anyone have a general idea how much it would cost to have some work done to get my desktop hardwired to my router? Live in a 1-story, 1400 sq ft home so shouldn’t be a big job.
This largely depends on how classy you are, and what materials you need to go through.
The cheapest and least-classy option, is just a long cable.
The step-up is something like Powerline, where you use an adaptor that uses the power lines in your house. Still no contractor needed.
The next step is to actually wire through walls/ceilings, or to run a bunch of conduits.
If you go the powerline route, you are looking as cheap as $50-$100.
If you do the contractor route, well, it could be thousands if you run into a bunch of problems. It might only be a couple hundred though.
