Cross wired

I have a crosswired cable from my bedroom to my lounge(under floor and
plastered in the walls). I now want to add a router and understand it needs
a straight cable. Can I just rewire one of the sockets or is it more
involved?
TIA

Just use a crossover patch cable which will cross it back again, making
it straight-through. Some network devices will automatically detect and
adapt to crossover or straight cables, so you may not even need to do
that.

Most wiring seems to be done to the B standard, so since crossover is
one-end A and one-end B, if you change one of the ends to the A standard you
should be set.

no just change the wires at the back of the router socket.
an easier way would be to make a short adapter lead or adapt an extention
lead which 'uncrosses' the lead for you
save invalidating router! guarantee.

a local pc should have the tools, not seen one on the market.

easy ways

(1) Use a crossed wired patch lead (as already sugested by other posters)
(2) Use a crosswired adaptor/Coupler --- as sold by Maplin
(3) Use an autosensing Hub/switch

I use a four port router/switch. It has an uplink port and that could be
used with a crossover cable.
