Open Net and RJ45 cabling advice needed

[Oregon]

Hi All

 

Its my turn to do the Open Net cabling. My place has the LAN cabling built into the house and terminates near the Starhub distribution box and power point. I was told by Starhub that I can connect the ISP box at this setup. The Open Net contractor says I have to situate the fibre box near the TV, but this will mean ugly trunking since my TVs are only in the bedrooms. Also it doesn't make sense since most homes now have multiple TVs.

 

1) Can someone help identify my LAN terminal box and how do I connect them to a router or LAN switch?

 

 

2) Is it feasible to hook up the complete fibre setup at this remote position and have the LAN points or wireless router serve the whole house (as per what I have read in the Open Net website)?

 

 

3) Who or what type of company does this type of hookup work?

 

Thanks for all advice!

i had my fibre box situation in the living room....cant do anything about it as they only wire in ~15m into the house starting from the door.

 

However, I run my own RJ45 cable from the living room point to my own room where i put my dlink gateway. still works.

I'm using those ethernet powerline adaptors, use it for my smart TV and gaming on my desktop to play D3 & SC2. Ppl say no good this & that but I dun have any issues with it plus no ugly cabling all over the house.

No one knows how your existing Lan are connected except for the guy who did it in the first place.

That terminal box is just interconnecting a bunch of wires.

In LAN, usually one ethernet cable is connected to another via a hub or switch and not spliced by individual wires to the other, unlike power cable.

 

If you install your fibre point, ONG, and RG at that position, you may reuse those Lan cables, provided you know where it's leading to.

 

You would then pull out the Lan cables from that terminal and terminate it with RJ45 connector.

The cable (with RJ45 connector) would then plug into the ethernet port of a Residential Gateway.

 

The RG is a router, which means one WAN input and the rest are LAN outputs.

 

Then you have to deal with internal IPs (for LAN), to make sure they are unique for each device.
