I have home internet (which is through TV cable lines). I also have (on the same wall plate), RJ45 jacks. And there's a few of them around my house.
I would be awesome if I could use those as access points as sometime my Wi-Fi gets spotty when streaming video from my Plex server.
Is there any way to plug my modem/router into the rj45 jack - and have that "connect" all the jacks in my house?
I originally though there would be a panel or closet with all the ethernet cables coming in (obviously to plug into a modem), but I can't find anything like that. So i'm assuming it's just connecting all the jacks with eachother?
I don't have any spare cables or I would just try this - was curious if this sounds possible - before I go buy a bunch of gear.
