Split home network into multiple rooms

home4matt · Jul 8, 2014

In my home i have multiple Ethernet ports are available in first floor and second floor. My internet provider setup a modem and enable one port in a living area. he suggest i can enable other room ports using a Ethernet splitter. can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks
Matt.

Is this a modem, or modem + router? How many ports on the back of it?

It is a modem -router connection.

home4matt :

Then all you should need is a switch. One cable from the modem/router to the switch, multiple cables from that to your devices.

I have wall LAN Switches for multiple rooms.one switch in the living room enabled and i wanted to enable the other Wall LAN swithci n another room. All these LAN switches are in a basement room where modem is connected to external cable.

From the rooms, do all the ethernet cables terminate at a specific location?

home4matt · Jul 8, 2014

yes in a closet at basement area where all internet and security alarm cables are coming from outside home.

OK then. It would seem that all we need is a switch at that location, and a Cat5e cable from the back of the router to that switch.

switch mean an Ethernet Switch right? any good model for recommendation. ? is it slow the internet connection?

home4matt · Jul 8, 2014

my internet is just average speed up to 14 Mb speed. is it affect the network speed?

USAFRet · Jul 8, 2014

home4matt :

Right, an ethernet switch. No, it won't slow things down.

Models? Where are you buying from?
Netgear, Linksys, TP-Link all make good ones. It also depends on how many ports you need. 5, 8, 16...
