How to connect Cat6 cables in 1 room to Hub5 in another
Hi, I'm currently nearing the end of a home renovation project where we've had a utility room built, featuring a cupboard that I've asked the builders to run Cat6 cables to. These cat6 cables connect to ports in rooms of the house which will allow us to have a hardwired connection to various devices. Currently our Hub5 sits in our lounge next door to the utility room. What would be the best way to connect the cat6 cables to the Hub5? Can I use a wireless router, linked to a network switch for the cables to plug into in the utility room, and connect the router to the Hub5 wirelessly if I put the Hub5 in modem mode? Would this work or is there a better solution? Many thanks!Ethernet to outbuilding
Hello - I have an outbuilding 40m down the garden, I have had an armoured cat6 cable laid between the main house and the outbuilding. Please can someone help me to undertsand whether I can just buy a a small hub/switch for the outbuilding and plug the ethernet cable into this and the other end just plugs into my Virgin Media router? Someone told me I need a PoE switch, but I don't want to run and PoE devices, just hardwire my smart TV in the outbuilding and put an Wireless Access Point so I can use my mobile. Can you also recommend any make/model please. Thanks!
