Replace RJ11 cable with Wi-Fi connection

It is possible to connect the base of my cordless phone to a wall-mounted T socket with an RJ11 cable of 5 to 6 meters. The problem is that the wall socket is in another room, which is unheated, so I have to install the cable for each call. How could it be possible to replace this cable with a WIFI connection? What equipment would be needed? Thank you.

Hello,

obligation to install the cable with each call

Very convenient for receiving calls!

Besides the Redbart solution, which is very simple, you might have been able to install an additional T socket.
It’s not complicated and the investment is minimal.

See the diagram provided in this discussion thread:
https://la-communaute.sfr.fr/t5/wifi-connexion-filaire-et-d%C3%A9bit/absence-de-connexion-adsl-apr%C3%A8s-changement-de-prise-t%C3%A9l%C3%A9phonique/td-p/1897364
There are actually only 2 wires to connect, it’s really not difficult to do.

It would allow you to have a T socket where you live and not in a cold room.

To return to the initial question, you cannot replace a telephone cable with WIFI.
Since you are considering wifi, I assume you must have a box. So why are you using PSTN telephony?

Sincerely

I don't have a box, and I can't run a permanent cable and install an additional T socket (for reasons other than the complication and investment). I simply thought that the signal transmitted by RJ11 could be converted (into Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or ...) and then that signal could be reconverted into PSTN, provided that there was some equipment at both ends. And it's not about receiving, just making calls. Thank you anyway, Pierr10.

Hello,
The solution therefore involves a duo or trio phone (offered by Redbart) or a remote base.

The base is connected to the existing T-shaped socket and the duo handset (or not) is in another room.

We should be able to find DUO models starting from around twenty euros.

And as Pier10 explains, there is no wifi device that can serve as a "telephone extension."

I will explore the "duo combined" solution. Thank you baladur13.

What phone do you have...?
If it's a cordless (DECT), an additional handset (sometimes as expensive as a duo) could also do the trick.

I have a base connected to the wall socket and to the mains, plus a unique cordless handset. The "duo handset" solution made me think of what I saw at some friends': a base like mine with its handset, but an additional handset only connected to the mains and therefore communicating with the base "wirelessly." Solution: place the base and the first handset in the "cold room" and the second handset in the living room. I just need to find the product now. Thank you, baladur13.

Thank you Redbart, but what does "add" practically mean here?

Baladur13, what do you mean by "duo 'or not" considering that I think the 2nd handset, in the living room, the one for making calls, must be connected to the mains to stay charged? Is it possible not to leave the 1st handset on the base, not to charge it (to leave it in a drawer!), and still be able to make calls with the 2nd one?

OK, do you have a base and a cordless handset, what brand and model?
This is to see if there are any affordable additional handsets available.

What do you mean by "duo" or not?
What I mean is that you can obviously go for a trio if multiple handsets in the house interest you, or get a cordless phone with a separate base.
The base in the "cold room" and the handset on its charger elsewhere.
For example https://www.boulanger.com/c/telephone-filaire#message_code=20

That said, a duo whose base is connected to the telephone network does not have to be on that base for the second handset to work.

I'm leaning towards purchasing a duo. Thank you, baladur13.

Baladur13,
My phone is a SAGEM D10T (digital DECT) single handset.

OK, there is apparently nothing planned for this model to add an additional handset to the base... so we will have to move on to acquiring a new Duo device or a separate base.

Hello not either,
otherwise a good sweater and a beanie help a lot too.
it looks a bit like line hacking this story.
