is it at all possible to connect my smart phone to my wifi router via a cable?

I ask cuz i have had times in the past and even recently when the wifi signal stops working. I know if or when this happens with my laptop i just plug it into my router via an ethernet cable.

Yes you can. You need an ethernet adapter with the right connection for your phone, such as USB-C to ethernet adapter

this is interesting cuz i asked 2 computer shops, and they both gave me blank looks!!

I guess if ask them for that USB-C to ethernet adapter. they might change their tune!!

thanx a lot anyway!

You can get the adapter from Amazon and such like for under a tenner. If you do try it I'll be interested to know how you get on

I dunno if I can be bothered to buy it  online. 

How much "bother" is it, exactly?

11.42 i haven´t used amazon in yonks! when i tried to use them recently it was such a palaver i gave up in the end. Call me what ever you want but id rather see what i am buying before parting with my hard earned cash!!

Don't know if you've got a Currys near you but it's a lot more expensive

Or Argos. Not that you can see before you buy there either

@18.29. I'm not calling you anything at all.

For me, it would be more of a "palaver" to buy in-store (1 hour round trip in car, pay for parking, long walk) rather than get it delivered next day for a third of the price!
