Hey guys, I need help as this is all pretty foreign to me.
I am trying to get wired internet from downstairs to upstairs via an already-installed ethernet port.
We recently moved into the home (built in 2008) and we have Verizon Fios set up. The modem/router is set up in the living room downstairs and connected via coax cable. I then connected an ethernet cable from the WAN port to the ethernet wall jack.
The "hub" (not sure what to call this) where all the Cat5 cables are located is in the master closet, and a bunch of them are unplugged. I tried every combination I could think of between "telephone in" and "telephone out" to see if I could get wired internet upstairs in the media room; no such luck.
What am I missing?
Did I plug the ethernet into the correct jack on the modem/router?
Is there an easy way to identify which Cat5 cable in the "hub" is the one that has the internet signal?
Please help, thank you so much in advance!
