Hi, Tracey Lockey,
Go for the extension, it will keep it cooler as it will be a little far from the computer so it wont be heated tat much. This will also increase its efficiency.
I hope this information helps you out. All the best and good luck.
Thanks

It really depends on the type of usage of your internet. Usually, the more direct a connection is, the better; technically, this means that if you use an extension, even though the difference shouldn't be great, the signal will have to travel a longer path which can make it weaker. Although when it comes to small cords at home this should barely be an issue.
In the end it all comes down to which sort of position you have the device you want to plug to the router or modem and whether you actually need an extension, or if you can solely connect it to the phone socket. It also depends on how many sockets you have available, so you can make sure both your internet and phone are working at the same time, and that you won't need an extra extension with extra sockets in it.
