I have 6 computers throughout the house that are networked wirelessly. I would love to network them via cables for reliability but I'm too lazy to run wires through the walls. Do you have a link to a guide that shows you how to convert the phone jacks? Also, would you be able to use a router with the phone jacks? (As in a different ip address for each jack?) Or is it a system that requires the use of splitters?
