You could do this yourself with some fibre cable. They don’t splice it in, its all fibre connectors, just search fibre extension cable :slight_smile:

Thanks for the link - you have just solved a minor annoyance for me that saves having to install a comms cabinet under the stairs. Too bad I have the comms cabinet already :smiley:

For anyone considering this extension, it is important not to touch any of the optical surfaces and do not look into the cable when it is live, the light emitted is beyond the visible range but can seriously damage your eyesight.

Is this the small black box inside the house, where they put in my house (kitchen) is causing nightmares for me as the router can’t be moved that far.

Yes box is the ONT.

Easiest way to move the router is a longer Ethernet cable from ONT to the Router to place where required.

Other option is to relocate the ONT using a fibre extention kit as outlined in this post.
