There used to be devices that I knew as line drivers that would easily drive a signal over that distance. Also provided you have a common mains power circuit then maybe a Homeplug device could provide the link.
If you take a look at some of the professional LAN kit such as Cisco you can find them with ethernet extender technology that will drive over the usual limit of 100m. It won't be cheap though. A trick if you can configure it might be to force communication over the cable at 10M rather than 100 as the tolerances are reduced and it may work. If you believe that the BT router is indeed less tolerant of overlength cables then you can always try experimenting by inserting a LAN switch between it and the cable, some may be more tolerant. -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43147 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
