Hi,I have a new-ish home, but the company that built it only went part way down the fibre ready route. I only have one RJ45 port in 4 locations, which doesn't seem anywhere near enough. No idea what type of cable they used. At the moment, I have the ONT patched to one of the central network ports and the router situated there. So everything is on WiFi, which isn't cutting it. The next room over is my PC and TV with playstation 4, which I'd want to have connected via cable. But how can I best do this?I'm thinking I should put my router back in the box thingy in the garage, so that I can connect all four of the LAN ports on the router to the patch panel. Then get a wireless AP for the room the PC and PS4 are in, and run ethernet cables from the ports on the AP to each. The wifi wouldn't be as well placed in my house, but at least my PC and PS4 should be getting considerably better speeds?I wondered if I could use the four ports on the ONT, but I have read that only one is 'live' and also considered a switch off the ONT, but I don't think that would work because it can't assign IPs?Thank you in advance for your help!
