Hello! My husband and I just moved into a home that has Cat6 already wired throughout it. Obviously, we want to take advantage of this - we do a lot of online gaming, and use Netflix exclusively for television.
We've both attempted to make sense of how to use it via a LOT of Googling, but we can't seem to find instructions that make it clear for someone who didn't have to do the installation of the actual wiring.
1) What do we need to buy in order to hook up our two desktops, and possibly our PS3 (for Netflix) into this network?
2) We know just barely enough to know that hooking our modem up so it can power the cables is... involved? What's the best way to go about this?
3) Something about a "bridge"?
Sorry in advance for the level of ignorance that is surely on display above - I feel like this should be easy, but that we're missing something basic and/or obvious.
I hope that someone can just link a guide we were silly enough to miss. Either way, thank you for your time.
