So idk where to put this so I'll put this here.

So the story is I usually have my desktop downstairs in the living room where everything is hooked up to. However, now I bought a new desktop and I want to hook it all up in my LAN because Wifi connection is too inconsistent and I have currently 25mb/s plan for house internet so I don't think I want it any lower and inconsistent over the coarse of a gaming session or whatever, it gets really fustrating.

I'm under Shaw now and I called them but idk dafuq the guy told me about different outlets and stuff. So in my room there is an ethernet outlet. Idk where it goes or idk what its for. Assuming it's actually for phone line.

Now how about would I go to add an extra LAN connection in my room? It's something like this:

Would I be able to add a LAN line in my room? I'm so noob at this. The modem is downstairs and stuff. Would I have to drill a hole or something or can Shaw do something and hook it up? Or do I need those potruding lines where the cable has a wire that goes into the socket.
