    Want to move my router from the hall to my living room, where it can be plugged directly into the TV and all the associated devices.
    How big of a job is this, and is this something my provider needs to do or can an electrician do it?
    I THINK the phone line enters the house closer to the room than where it currently is, but I'm not 100% on that.

    If it's a phone line a good quality extension to the incoming phone line to the new location should not have a significant impact on the service

    I've moved many over the years.

    An electrician can do it.

    Are there filters on the incoming box ? If so he'd be better moving it to the new location and using a joint box at the existing connection.
