Apologies if this is in the wrong place
We’ve moved into a new house and I want to hardwire internet points into soon of the rooms.
At the moment it looks like the master phone socket is in the loft and it drops to a phone point and a dsl cable into one of the bedrooms. The dsl cable plugs into a white bt box then takes an Ethernet connection out of that into a bt infinity hub.
I want to move the router into the loft so I can mount a switch next to it and drop cables to each room that needs it.
I have a few questions about this and hopefully someone could help.
Can I do away with the phone line and get an internet provider to just fit an internet feed in the loft or does it still need the phone line too? We won’t have a home phone as everything is done through our mobiles now.
Am I right in thinking that I can just plug an Ethernet cable into the back of the router and connect the switch to drop the hardwired cables or is it a bit move involved than that? Also, if I had a fibre optic supply, would cat6 cable hardwired in the walls still work or would it need to be a different cable?
If I have the hardwired points, will the router still send out WiFi as well for phones and tablets to use or is it one or the other?
Thanks |
