I didn't know where the wire it is plugged into now went to! So I opened up the main socket and I think it's wired into the back of it, so it is sort of into the main socket (but then again it was when the router was downstairs).
We'll just see how it goes for a bit, it's really pissing me off. Only got the desktop and 1 laptop running now. Not sure what will happen when other laptop and ipod get switched on!
