Hi,
I'm moving into a new house which needs rewiring so I was going to take the opportunity to network my home.
I want to run cat6 cable from 4 rooms upstairs and 4 rooms downstairs (one of the rooms will have 5 separate cables coming from it), using face plates on the room walls, into my garage (connected to the house) where I have my modem and NAS box.
The only bit I'm not sure of is how to connect all the cat6 cables (12 separate cables in total) to enable any devices such as laptop, sonos, xbox, etc. when connected to any of the face plates in any of the rooms to be able to connect to the internet and listen to music or watch movies stored on my NAS.
I'm guessing I need a router or switch but not sure which, can anyone how I complete the final step?
Thanks in advance,
Xander
