@@UltimateTechHub Cool thanks for the reply, yeah it's because I recently had a router that just stopped working, it would turn on and then the lights would blink orange and it would just shut off no lights or anything and make this weird noise. I was wondering if maybe because it was connected directly that that might be an issue. The router was kind of old already, don't know maybe it just gave out or something.

I moved into a 2 year old house and was excited about the Ethernet and coax ports in each room. That turned to dismay when I found the patch panel in a closet with unfinished cables for both and no router or modem. I had to get internet so I went with AT&T wireless. Man, Ethernet would’ve been nice though.

[@UltimateTechHub]

The ethernet cables can be finished by terminating them on both ends and use a Network cable tester to track each cable to each room. You can then label them and then add the modem and router to get internet to each room. I have over 100 videos on how to do this! Good luck and keep me posted!

Question: Our "internet hub" is located, typically, in a coat closet. However, the (cable) router and modem is located in one of the bedrooms, on the top shelf of a bookcase. Recently, we had a Spectrum tech here to deal with a drop in our wi-fi signal. I asked the tech if I could just run an ethernet cable from the router to the Ethernet port in the wall to "light up" all the ports in the house. He said, no...it would not work without some kind of adapter. Do you know what he was referring to and how to do this so I can have wired internet wherever I want it? Thanks!

Home Networking Question CAT5 I purchased a new Orbi Mesh system and looking to take advantage of my CAT5 network that was prewired in our house. For context: Going from Modem to Orbi Router. To CAT5 wall plug in home office. CAT5 setup is located in master bedroom. In this panel Im taking the CAT5 from the Office to the Netgear 108 switch. Im also plugging in the Orbi satellites to the CAT5 plugs in various locations in the house. Im using all CAT6 cables to maximize internet. Plan is for 1.2mb. When Im plugging into switch none of the lights are turning on. I did the terminating myself. But that was easy. My understanding is this should work. That the CAT5 is bidirectional so going from the office to the switch should be fine.

QUESTION: I have wall Ethernet Jack which I intend to hardwire and connect my tv. However, when I go to my central hub where all the Ethernet cables/wires converge, I am not sure which of the cables/wires corresponds to the one I am trying to hard wire my tv with the wall outlet. Is there a way to find or identify the right corresponding cable so I can then plug that into a switch. There are just too many loose lines and I don’t know which is which. Btw, it is just loose wires, so I have to create an Ethernet tip/Jack to plug into a switch box. Thank you

[@UltimateTechHub]

You will need to terminate the loose ethernet wires into RJ4 connectors and then use a network cable tester that has mapping tools to find which wire goes to the TV or just plug one wire in at a time to the central hub and check your TV for internet connectivity. Also when you decide to do this make sure to label the ethernet in your central Hub to avoid this problem. I label all of my ethernet cables.

[@youroptic]

Hello, instead of putting the modem or router inside the panel, can we put it anywhere in the house near the ethernet wall jack and plug it in there and still have internet within the other outlets?

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes but you need the modem plugged into the ISP cable ( coax, fiber, ethernet ) then plug the router into the modem. Then you need the ethernet from the other rooms from the panel plugged into the routers LAN ports. I have my modem in the Network Panel but my TPLINK GE800 is in my gaming room. So I have the ethernet cable from the fiber modem ( ONT ) that runs to the game room that connects to the router. Then I have an ethernet cable that goes from the routers LAN port back to the network panel and plugs into a 10 port switch and the other 8 ethernet ports from the other rooms connect to the switch. This is why I always recommend having 2 ethernet ports per room. You can install the router in any room that has 2 ethernet ports. Hope this helps.

I don't see a network panel anywhere in my house built in 2018. I do see about 4 or 5 white cables going to different rooms where they sit behind coaxial jacks, but the cables have CAT5 printed on them. They do all come to a central location but they end in a coiled bundle that has no connectors, just kinked ends wrapped in electrical tape. Does this mean I have to go buy a network panel, and if so, how do i put them in? We have been getting internet from a line of sight modem on the roof our ISP installed. We plugged the other end into our wireless router and that has worked for us but i would like to make use of the wired connections we seem to have.

[@UltimateTechHub]

You don't need a Network Panel but its nice to keep everything enclosed and hidden away. Your situation is fine and you don't need a panel. Where is you wireless router located? You need to move the wireless router to the area where the cat5 cables are located. Then plug those cat5 cables into your LAN ports on the wireless router. If you have too many cat5 cables you can buy a cheap switch to expand the wired network off of the wireless router. Now your rooms will have full network connectivity. Good luck and keep me posted.

Very basic question. What's the advantage of running so many ethernet wires? I know you can hardwire internet to tv's, gams, other devices, but then what. Just starting to look into wiring our new build home. I guess I'm assuming you can then watch the signal from any device on another device? Are there other things needed to achieve that?

[@UltimateTechHub]

If you are building a new home run cat6 or cat6a ( 10gig speeds) to every room in your house. If you can afford it run 2 cat6 to every room. It's always good to have a back up in case 1 wire fails. All of the wires should meet up in 1 location where your modem , router and switch will be like a network panel or server rack. The advantages are super fast always on connections which allow streaming 4k or even 8k video with zero lag. Each room could have a switch to add more wired connections. Wired Iis always better than wireless. Also install a cat6 in the ceiling in the center of the house for a wireless access point. I have over 80 networking videos so check them out to help answer more of your questions.

My internet hub is in the basement and the cables run through the insulation. I want to install Ethernet in my room upstairs would this be possible? I have another room upstairs that has a Ethernet port in the wall but it’s across from the room I want to install it in.

[@isaacalmaguer5]

yes, it is very much possible

[@nickoflegends1244]

Ayyy so I was wondering if I plug in a Ethernet cable into this port can I just plug into PC and have Ethernet or am I dumb?

[@UltimateTechHub]

It depends where the other end of the port goes to. If that port goes to a router then yes you will get internet.

[@litoo844]

Okay so my wifi box is downstairs and I have an ethernet outlet up stairs and I want to connect the lan cable to my ps5 how would I do it?

[@litoo844]

Also theres a ethernet port already connect from the wifi box to my outside box

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@litoo844 does the upstairs ethernet port connect to your wifi router? If it's in the wall it has to go somewhere.

[@litoo844]

@@UltimateTechHub the ethernet cable thats in my wifi box rn leads to outside but the port upstairs is empty

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@litoo844 the port upstairs has no cable? Then you would need to run a cat5e or Cat6 cable from your LAN port from your wifi router downstairs to your PS5 upstairs.

I moved into a townhouse built In 2020, I cannot even find my network panel. I basically have Ethernet wired through my house but the ports don’t work?

[@UltimateTechHub]

You will need to search room by room and then look in the garage and then outside by your utilities box. The Ethernet goes somewhere you just have to find that magic location!

[@exoticsavage410]

I got a question can I plug in a lab cable to it

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes. But it also depends where the wall jack goes to. Does it go to a router or a network switch?

All of my network cables meet inside my NID box located outside of my house. No network panel. I can only hook up 1 network cable inside the NID box. Is this normal?

[@UltimateTechHub]

It's not normal for 2023 thats for sure. Older homes are setup the way yours is. If you can run the one ISP cable from the NID box to inside your home or garage then you can setup a network like mine. I have hundreds of Networking videos so check them out. Thanks for watching!

Quick question if I have wired all over the house and my WiFi box is inside can I connect it to the wall and will it will send signal to the house

[@adrianbotello8297]

Did it work for you? I have the same question.

[@buriburizaemon1711]

hello sir. I subscribed to ur channel because i like this kind of videos related to networking and computers and i sometimes do experiments with my router .sir i want to ask u that I have a 50 mbps plan which i will turn 100mbps in future and i didn't have issue related to wifi range so it is worth to connect my devices with ethernet cable or wifi will be enough for 50mbps to 100mbps speed.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Hi, thank you for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it. I would always use a wired connection whenever possible just for stability and reliability. However 100mbps over WiFi is very common and works well. For me wired but if it's not convenient then wireless. Thank you again.

[@Mikesteritup]

Aa

[@keanudang11]

Thank you for the info But the problem is that everything is working fine. but when I connect my lan cable to my ps4 it shows connect the lan cable to the ps4. And I could not find the problem

[@UltimateTechHub]

Could be a bad ethernet cable or the end of the ethernet cable needs to be terminated correctly.

[@kjbanndz]

so if i plug my lan cable in the wall and into my ps4 will that work

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes if you plug your Ethernet cable, Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat7 into the wall and into your PS4 your all good.

So my router is in my upstairs loft while my bedroom with my computer is too far and straight through a hallway to run a cable to my room but i do have a Ethernet port in my bedroom so I’m confused I thought that plugging a cable into the port in my Tom then into my computer would work but I don’t get a connection and I’m somewhat confused

[@UltimateTechHub]

The Ethernet Port in your bedroom runs somewhere in your house. You need to find that end of the ethernet and then connect it to the LAN port on your router. These wires usually go to a network panel or box. Keep me posted.

[@lolg4692]

I have one of these in my house set and wired up but it’s not enabled how do I enable it?

[@UltimateTechHub]

If you have a network panel where it all meets up at then watch this video to help understand how its set up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWnPn62Kh8mDaJY

[@ralphie8852]

i live in a apt and the wifi guy hooked up my router and told me i’m good to go. i don’t see any ethernet cables connected to my router. does that mean these ethernet ports still work?

[@UltimateTechHub]

No the ethernet ports will not work unless they connect to the routers LAN ports. He probably meant your wifi is good to go. Where do the ethernet wires run to? Is it in a network panel?

[@Hamza23105]

I cant find it, i found a swithcer looking thing but the outlet is tel not plan

[@ayc9403]

HI there, I think my ethernet cable is broken, so the internet guy switched the connection to coax, which i guess its gonna reduce speed quite a bit. Any suggestion on how to fix the ethernet cable since its hidden behind the jack and my network panel is at basement? Thanks a lot man

[@UltimateTechHub]

Usually a broken ethernet cable is one of the ends needs to be repaired. Cut the end off and reinstall a new ethernet jack. That should fix it. I have a video on how to wire an ethernet jack. Thanks for watching.

Hi k just liked and subscribed! I have a question. I live in an apt in L.A. and have the highest internet that Spectrum cable offers, however, my internet connection goes out often when im online playing ps4. I was told to get a Mesh which i did (Eero Mesh) which didnt help much. Now, i have jacks in my walls but idk if they r phone jacks or internet hacks. PLEASE HELP. Thank u

[@UltimateTechHub]

Open up the wall plate and look at the wire. It will say cat5e or cat6 on the wire. If it says cat3 it's a phone wire which wont work for data. If it's a cat5 and not a cat5e it will work but it only runs 100mbps which sucks. Hopefully it's cat5e. Keep me posted. And I have 50 videos on home networking to help answer your questions. Good luck.

Where ever they lead to in your home you need to connect them to a router that is connected to a modem. There has to be a central location where all the ethernet meets up. Hope this helps and keep me posted. Thanks for watching.

[@madman6400]

Bro, I need this, I don't have one and had no idea these Ethernet ports existed, how do I get it

[@UltimateTechHub]

If your house does not have any ethernet cables installed then you will need to wire drop some car5e or cat6 through the attic into your desired rooms and the other end of those cat5e or cat6 should meet up in one location in a closet or laundry room. This area is where your network devices will be installed like modem and routers and switches. I have probably 50 plus videos on this topic. Check out my Playlist Ultimate Home Networking. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.

[@frostizz2072]

Mine says cat5e does that mean I need a cat5 and idk how to use it

[@UltimateTechHub]

Nope Cat5e is great! That's 1gig speeds which is plenty. Cat6 is 10gigs but in most cases that can be fully utilized since ISP speeds are only 1gig at the most.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Can't be fully utilized...sorry

[@suunakalemera1822]

My cable does not fit in the port. What do I do?

Not sure if anyone will respond but my rooms have a cat 6 cable but these cables are for tv service I believe. I don’t use this tv service as the rest of my family is there a way to get internet out of this cable and put a switch in my room for all my devices the WiFi is not good as I am in the farthest room from the router. I’m not sure where these cables are meeting maybe the main tv box?

[@dustinmiller4807]

Or maybe I can use this for another router in my room so I can get good WiFi if you have any suggestions please let me know.

[@JJFlores197]

Well you know your home better than any of us here, I would hope. You'll have to figure out where those ethernet cables go to. They may end up in a dedicated network closet, a closet in a room or some media room. Once you locate the cables, there should be a patch panel of some sort where they terminate or they may have some RJ-45 plugs. You will need to have your internet equipment in that room to plug in ethernt cables from the router to the panel or plug the cables coming from the various rooms to your router. If you need more ports than what your router has, you can plug in a network switch. Once you make the connections, your ports in your rooms will be active and you can use them.

[@tzaryr]

So basically all I have to do is plug my router into an Ethernet port in one room and then in the room my computer is in I have to plug it to another Ethernet port in that room?

[@aureldery8749]

As long as the cables in the wall all run to a modem/router then yes. If you have your modem and router and you're just trying to plug your router into one of the port in the wall that won't work (as in that won't magically make all of the ports connected to the internet). As the top comment pointed out, some houses/apartments have the ports in the walls but they aren't connected to anything at the other end.
