Ok I have seen a few post from you all re networks. I’ve had the BT survey today and he started talking about networking in the house. I haven’t given it a thought until he mentioned the kids watching Netflix the computer on the web, internet tv, WiFi etc etc (headaches)!
so I’ll be laying the cable from the post to the house in a few weeks, what I don’t understand is how the cat 5/6 or 7 gets from the phone line to the rest of the house.
I think it’s phone line into house
router plugs into phone line
then cat whichever number goes from router to points in different rooms.
why have some of you got like massive boxes with oodles of cables?
if I just wanted say 8 ports throughout the house would this be complicated.
ive heard of the term switch but don’t know what this does.
thanks for any feedback, I’m not that technical as you can read!
