Hi. Please be nice as I'm new and certainly not an expert. I'v tried researching the hell out of this and can't seem to find the right fix.I have recently moved into a brand new house that has a Spark Fibre ONT installed in my garage. I have a multiple port patch panel that I currently have my WiFi Router connected to in the middle of the house. It works great. I'm wanting to connect a couple of devices (PC and Laptop) that sit on the edge of the wifi zone to outlets that are in bedrooms that are patched back to the garage however when I try to connect to the internet the PC can see the ONT but won't connect to the internet. Do I need a separate router for the 'hard-wired' outlets ? I have completed all the basic checks with cables and outlets so I'm reasonably confident I'm asking the right question. I have also checked to make sure the devices don't have a static IP. I can use the wi-fi for these devices however as mentioned its patchy as its on the edge of the range of the router and I have a patch panel so i figure I may as well use it.I feel like I have exhausted the shallow pool of my knowledge and I'm looking for some specialist advice please :)" alt="ONT and Patch Panel"> Many thanks.
