I have Att Uverse cable and the are unable to use the coax connection in the wall, and there is no phone jack in my living room.
I need to get signal in my living room, even though my wireless gateway is upstairs.
What I was thinking is to use my xServe (media server) that is in the closest close to the living room. I added a wireless usb adapter to the xserve.
My theory is that it can receive the wireless connection from the gateway, run a cat 5 cable from the xserve to my Netgear ProSafe 8 port switch GS 108. From the switch there is 2 cables one to Uverse, and the other to a Xbox 360.
Is this possible and recommendations
Right now I have a long cat 5 running down the stairs to the switch, from the gateway. Its an eye sore and need a quick fix.
Running OSX 10.5.8
