2 wall sockets, can I use both?

Hey folks!

So I have a wall connector in my living room (where my router and 360 box are connected) - but my office space upstairs is currently connected to the hub via a powerline connector and ethernet to the PC.

Thing is - there is a VM wall socket in the office as well! Is there a way to connect this to my PC so I can effectively have ethernet direct-to-router? The only other way to do that would be to run cables through the walls and this is a  rented house...

Would appreciate any advice 🙂

Thanks

Jacob

The coaxial socket is on Virgins network, not yours. You could move the existing hub to the other socket location, but apart from that you cannot get internet from it unless you open a second Virgin account & rent a second hub at twice your current costs.
