Hey, so I have a question about how to connect my home network and if it even is possible to do.

 

I live in an apartment where I get fiber from a jack above the door. I want to connect this to a router which will be some meters away. From the router I want to run 2x Ethernet cables and and connect them as wall jacks. Then I want to run cables from the wall jack into some switch or something to get internet to my devices. Is it possible to run cables from router to wall jacks and then Ethernet cables to switch and get my devices connected to the internet?

 

See the beautiful image for explanation.

Yah, so long as the total cable length is under 100 meters from router to switch it will all work just fine exactly as you have it laid out :)
