Setting up ethernet

[Member]

Hullo,

 

I am wanting to use ethernet instead of Wifi. 

Ethernet is already wired around my house.

 

 

Where all the ethernet cables end up. (Floor 1)

 

 

White box= Airport Extreme and Blue= cable modem (floor 2)

 

 

 

Now, do i buy and switch and connect the ethernet cables in picture one to a network switch and then finally run an ethernet cable from the network switch to the Apple Airport Extreme?

 

Thank you in advance, feel free ask more questions if you don't understand any part.

yes. or you could connect them directly into the apple device if they are few enough

Thanks I think will need a switch, the Ethernet cables go down to the basement but the Apple Airport Extreme is upstairs.

I think I will have to plug all the Ethernet in the basement to switch then one Ethernet that is going up to the Apple Airport Extreme. 

 

Thanks for the help.
