Go to solution Solved by manikyath,

ideally, you make a space for network equipment (read: just a thick wooden board against the wall you can bolt stuff into) next to the fuse panel. have the uplink from the ISP arrive there as well.

 

then have every LAN port in the house lead back to a panel in this place.

 

then you bolt whatever modem you get from the ISP in the wall, presumably a network switch or two as well, and then just plug stuff in with cat6 cables.

Correct. Think of the patch panel and keystone jack as just more cable. (That's all it is.)

ok perfect, do u have any suggestions for a switch?

Literally any unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch will get the job done. The standard's been around for more than 20 years. 

 

I'll usually pick something from Netgear or Linksys. Pick a model that has enough ports to support all your wall jacks.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.
