hard wiring a computer point

[bluecallum]

working in a house which has 3 xhard wired ethernet points,the client wants 2 x additionals in different rooms can someone let me know where the previous point would be connected to,do they tap them of a bt point or would there be a device somewhere in the house they would be connected to as cant seem to find anything.

You would wire them back to the broadband router, probably near the main sky box

There is no router to be found but the points there are still working

would they be taped off the bt points

So there is no broadband in the house Callum?

sorry when i think about it there was a router,but how are the points throughout the house working as there is no rj or what they are called going to the back of it from these 3 x points

you run a cat5 cable from the router to the positions the client wants, you then fit an ethernet plug at the router end and an outlet the other end, you can install secondary phone points where the customer wants them fed from the master point, but you said the customer wanted ethernet points? they are usually yellow leads which connect from your sky box to your router, some modern blue ray players also have ethernet connections as do most lap tops, you need to clarify what they want and why Callum.

so you are saying they would get the internet from the skybox,the story behind this is that this client has just bought this place seen the other ethernet points in the house and wants a couple more in the garage,he does not want sky,where previous owners did because there is a dish,so how will the previous ones work then

 

[Guest77]

No they would get the internet from the router, you do not need sky to access the internet, most routers are wifi today so he probably doesn't even need any hard wired points at all LOL, you can access the internet from any router for broadband which is faster than connecting via a phone point, the internet from phone lines direct takes ages for pages to load, sounds like the customer isn't sure about what they need really, you need to advise them on the best way. If they actually want computer ethernet points you will need to run cabling direct to the broadband router.

how are the existing 3 been wired then if the ends aint going into the router
