I finally tracked down a solid tutorial, so thanks to everyone for the hand!

If that's the case, how exactly am I supposed to crimp this thing?
Thx

Do you happen to know how one would actually crimp that? I'd be looking for a tutorial, but I'm mostly wondering if the process remains consistent regardless of where you are.
Hi there,
So, I have an ADSL jack in my living room with a cable running through the wall directly into my bedroom. I’m looking for some advice on how to convert this into an Ethernet connection. Since I work from home, having a reliable setup would be a lifesaver—the Wi-Fi signal in that room is pretty weak, and frankly, I don't have the patience to mess around with Wi-Fi extenders when I could just utilize the wiring already tucked inside the walls.
I assume this should just be a matter of swapping out a few faceplates, right?
Thanks for the help,
