Plemans, CrimpOn,
Thanks for your advice. I've moved it to several places but the results have been the same; a marked decline in speed.
Do either of you have any experience with a powerline adapter. The reviews are generally good, but who knows if it will really work. I guess I could try it and just return it if it doesn't work.
Thank you both for your help. It did help me successfully connect the extender.
Mike
