Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial and knowledge sharing! I have a question to make: Does this function the same as a pair of power line adapters? Do you need the router plugged in another one like this in the same building? Or or works differently? How does it connect to the internet network of the house?
@SwitchedOnNetwork 8 місяців тому
No, this isn't like Powerline Adapters because they use the existing electrical cabling in the walls to send and receive the data between two points. That can sometimes work well but can be affected by lots of things and is only ever done when you have no alternative. Running a dedicated network cable like this is the gold standard best way of doing it. You'd connect one end to your router and the other end could either go direct to one device or to a switch to serve many devices at the other end
@user-hx2ip9lm9d 8 місяців тому

@@SwitchedOnNetwork And the cable through the wall is the same cable we use for an Ethernet connection? If such an outlet has two "holes" for Ethernet clip-ins, can two devices be plugged in and work? Alternatively, could the two outlets be connected through the wall to the existing power lines, the same way power line adapters are, with only difference being integrated in the wall for aesthetic reasons?

CAT6 and CAT5E refer to the cabling, not the sockets. Sometimes you see sockets which are labelled either way but AFAIK it's irrelevant and makes no difference.

@miles1337 2 роки тому
Thanks for your help/advice on this, I have just yesterday fitted my first 4 cables in my house between their wall jacks and they now work perfectly. I do though have 2 questions to ask if its ok, but for some reason one tester does not work but one does (on my cable which is about 20-30m in length) but both do work on just a single short cable, so does the length of cable cause problems with the testers, and if so does this mean the cable is to long? On another question the tester which does work, on both of the cables, its identically shows all LEDs lighting up 1 to 8 in order but for some reason they show dimmer from 4 to 8, is there any reason for this possibly?
@SwitchedOnNetwork 2 роки тому
You should be able to test huge long lengths of cable with the testers - I tested a ~90m cable run between my house and a neighbour's a few years ago, which wasn't far off the 100m "maximum" length you're meant to stick to for Cat6. It sounds like it might be a faulty or poor quality (sorry!) tester... or maybe it needs fresh batteries? What tester(s) are you using? Do the LEDs light dimly on both ends of the tester or just one?
@miles1337 2 роки тому

i bought a rj45 socket today and the diagram on the back is the 568A. However looking at my ethernet cable it looks like the order of the wires are the 568B where pin 1 is green/white. Am i right in saying that although my diagram on the back shows pin one as orange/white would I actually put the Green/White in that slot?
@SwitchedOnNetwork Рік тому
Yeah I'd stick with B if I were you, just to keep things the same. However, the only thing that really matters it that if you wire dup your socket to T568A on one end, it's also wired up to T568A on the other end, too. Or B and B. Just not a mixture. You could have a cable with B on each end plugged into a socket which uses A and as long as the other end of that cable run is also A, you'd be fine. But to avoid confusion, since you have the option, just go with B everywhere :)
@Si7encer_ 2 роки тому
If you properly angle your cut down tool you don’t have to twist the cable ends off. They should be clean cut. You should probably place the keystone Jack on a solid surface and then cut. It’ll be easier.

This is more of a question, I’m in a new house, and the router is a floor under me, but we have Ethernets that come into the wall, pretty sure a cat5 and it’s not working when I plug my computers Ethernet into it, idk if it’s broken, or if I have to find the other end and plug it into the router? But I can’t find another end of a Ethernet anywhere in this house, but there is multiple Ethernet outputs in each room that don’t work
@SwitchedOnNetwork Рік тому
Sounds like you have cabling to all (or lots) of the rooms, which is great! They'll all need to feed into a network switch somewhere (basement maybe?) and the router connect into that. Can you not find the other ends anywhere? You could use a cable tester to see if any of the rooms are directly connected together maybe!

Been through that nightmare. Had bad VoIP issues. Eventually we figured out the installers ran them along power cables. Certainly did cause issues for us.

@bladewraith Рік тому
I am about to move to a new house. It's a building with an Article 4 restriction specifying no cables on the outside wall above 1m.....so the Virgin media shiz has to go in at the front of the house. This means that the modem has to be in the front room and I need ethernet sockets in 3 bedrooms and an office. Probably a noob question, but the cable run from each room needs to terminate individually in the room with the modem/switch? Is there a plate that can accommodate 4 keystones? Second question, from the virgin media can I connect to just a switch or do I need a router specifically?
@SwitchedOnNetwork Рік тому
Yes, the best way to do that would be each room with an independent cable running back to a keystone in the room with the router/switch in. You should be able to find a 4x keystone plate no problem. And yes, if you're using your Virgin Media superhub as a router then just connect that to a switch and then the 4 room connections into a switch (or just use the 4 ports on the Virgin modem?). However, I'd recommend putting the Virgin box into modem-only mode and using a far better router such as Netgear Orbi (see other videos on the channel).

Hi, thanks for the guide. I am planning on setting up 3 separate wall sockets, one RJ45 by the modem and router at the 1st floor (A), another RJ45 wall socket directly above it at the 2nd floor to use for mesh network (B), and the 3rd wall socket in the room beside the mesh at the 2nd floor (C). A - being the main point, B - 10 meters from A, and C - furthest away from A, but closest to B. Do i need to run 2 seperate cables like A to B and A to C, where i need to rewire two wall jacks from the router A. Or could i extend two cables in a way so i get away with routing them from A to B, then B to C? I want to prioritize latency, speed and consistency on wall jack C though, so i dont want much interference from the WiFi. Thanks :)
@SwitchedOnNetwork 4 місяці тому
I would put a double socket at (A) by your switch and run two entirely separate cables; A to B and A to C.

@SwitchedOnNetwork 5 місяців тому
You don't need to change the sockets that are already in the rooms to fibre unless you want to. Having "fibre broadband" can mean a lot of things, but it always *only* refers to the connection from your ISP to your broadband modem/router. After that, it's up to you how you want to distribute that "fibre broadband" around your house. Either using WiFi, copper cable (eg. CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a etc.) to an ethernet port [better than WiFi, but obviously less convenient] or with fibre cabling around your house [even better than copper cable, but more expensive].
