I know this has nothing to do with Axiom, but I also know I'll get an answer here .

Currently have a wi-fi setup throughout the house, but it doesn't work in my thearte room, I guess because with four layers of drywall and insulation etc it can't get through very well. I ran a 100' cable from my router to that room and have been using my computer/360 with that.

Is it possible to run another wireless router off of this cable? If so, can I use the same network or would it have to be a different one?

Also, is it possible to put a new end on a Cat5/6 ethernet cable? It works fine, but the clip is dodgy and it sometimes pulls out.

Thanks!

Yes, yes/maybe, yes.

To amplify,

Yes, you can run another wireless access point (you don't want to use it as a router) off of this cable. You can use the same network name, and I believe most systems will accept it as the same network; I'm a little dodgy on this one, since the last time I did it was years ago with a couple of Airport Base Stations.

You can definitely put a new end on ethernet cables; all you need is a crimping tool. You can find these at Home Depot, actually.

I agree with all of that, and to clear up the dodgyness: If you want to be able to "roam" from the wireless router, to the access point in the theater, both networks will need to have the same SSID, and encryption key. Might help if the products are of the same brand, and perhaps series of production, but neither matter so much.

I can get the same brand, no problem. I should add I do not want to use this second router to do anything other than provide wi-fi for my laptop in my theatre room, and it would be hard-wired to my 360.

I have all the wiring tools I'll ever need, crimper is no problem although my wife likes to use them as pliers . Is the ethernet cable just a single wire inside? I thought it may be like an HDMI cable with several wires, the connector has about 7 or 8 pins, so I am not sure.

Oh, I mean a specialized crimping too. To do it with a regular crimping tool is to invite insanity, I suspect.

haha, alright, I guess any place that sells the connectors would have the tool (computer store I assume).

Edit: Looks like there are 8 wires inside... Should be fun!

Or Amazon. I assume they have the same thing on the northern side of the border.

Cool, I buy from Amazon USA all the time so that works for me. I don't think I'll need a 100 pack of connectors though (lol) 10 should be plenty.

You can find plenty of tutorials online for "terminating cat 5 cable". It's not hard. I used to do it all the time, but then I got a promotion.

From terminator to savior of mankind?

Come with me if you want to live.

I hope you said that about three octaves lower than normal

I know this is old but Monoprice has Cat5 wire ends and the crimping tool for very little money and they work great.

I have been making up my own patch cables for the new house. 100 ends for $8 and the crimper was only $6. I have lots of short cable from the extra wiring left over after termination of them into the phone box and router etc. I now have cables from as short as 6" to 8ft lengths. It does take a little bit of getting used to to make them up and be successful as the wires can not be untwisted after the cable end or you loose some speed through the wire and it may also cause erroneous transmissions through it.

Also note there are 2 ways to wire 568A and 568B the only difference is which pins you use for the orange twisted pair and green twisted pair as they are swapped for each type. 'A' has the green pairs first and B has the orange pairs first but for a patch cable this doesn't matter just keep them the same on both ends
