Question 3 years ago on Step 6. This is ALL I have for the whole house, requiring wireless. I really need to move my router location to a more practical "storage" area.
I saw your idea You have many Cat5e lines to the patch panel, instead of connecting them in one line to each jack splice? Do I begin by extending ONE long main 5catse from the phone box across home to a "patch panel" to get started?
How did you connect it from your main phonebox? Is that Cat5e line on the left of the patch panel the "main" line to power the rest of the Patch Panel? What's the purpose of this piece? Then, next step up is firewall and modem. My current modem supposedly contains both in one box from the internet company.
I also would like to set up a security hook up to cameras and a DVR to record when Im away which I am unsure how this is done with this arrangement, as the Cats5e cables have to individually connect from each cameras to plug into the DVR instead of the patch panel. Id really appreciate your input and guidance and possibly direct contact instead of boring people with lengthly confusion!
Thx - A. When I plug my laptop into the jack, nothing happens. Should my jacks be TA and TB?? I've wired them all as B but I'm not getting any connection.
I tried plugging my laptop into the switch and I connect right away Thanks in advance for your comments! Reply 5 years ago. Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. You've shared very nice information here but we have some more tactics to perform this task easily, you must have a look on this web page this will definitely help you and others too.
I have CAT-5e line in several room of the house. I have a fios router. Reply 6 years ago. No you need to find where the distribution is in your house and plug the router to that. Your plugging into a line that most likely empty at the other end. Think of the power line going into your house as your router and the electrical panel as the ports on the back of your router. Right now you don't have any power going into your panel.
What your doing is plugging in an electrical source into an outlet with if you were to say plug into another outlet in your house you wouldn't have power there. Video helps too. I'm a little more confused with configuring the routers and switches. The cabling I'm fine with. My new place has several single RJ45 outlets, which look promising in terms of internal networking, but they may be part of an ISDN install.
I've looked unsuccessfully for the termination. I'll be exploring the attic over the garage this weekend and hopefully figure out what the wiring is there for. I'll also test the outlets to see if they speak to one another, and if they do then I'd suppose that there'd have to be some type of switching appliance someplace. It's an interesting development, since I've only used wifi for laptops and tablets, and then a powerline bridge to a home theater server tucked into a utility closet.
I also have a roku on wifi streaming to an old tv set. My big project this summer is to convert the loft into a big home theater using the light fixture sockets to run the video over a powerline connection with a 3D HD projector and a streaming video appliance like roku. I'll either paint the wall or hang some painted flooring material to use as a screen. Once I get the hardware and complete the install, I plan to create my first instructable of it, although I'm sure I'll find many similar to this on the site already.
You have definitely amped me to max out my ethernet wall wiring now for sure, thank you for a exceptional and very detailed instructable! Ok guys, take your politically hypersensitive conversation back to Tumblr. I didn't assume anything about my audience but was merely writing from my own perspective.

Electromagnetic fields from electrical wiring can interfere with the digital signals transmitted over Cat5 cable, so allow at least 12 inches of space between the two.
Before you cut into the walls to install jacks, use a voltage detector to find any nearby electrical wires and ensure that your jacks will also be sufficiently far to avoid interference. Install a separate cable for each computer jack. Cat5 cable will not work if it is spliced. Use a new individual length of cable for each connection. Measure and cut the Cat5 cables with a wire cutter. Crimp the head onto the cable. Place the plastic head into the appropriate slot in the crimping tool, being careful not to dislodge the 8 wires.
With the head positioned properly, apply pressure to the crimper's handles to clamp the head down onto the wires. The metal contacts should now be touching each of the 8 wires. Repeat this process on the other end of the cable. Test your cable if desired. If you have a cable testing tool, insert both ends of your finished cable into the tool to check for a signal.
The cable should now be ready to use. When inserting the wires into the connector, which way should the connector face? Do it with the gold pins facing up because that's how most ethernet cable wiring schematics are made.
Yes No. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 8. I do not understand this order: green and white, green, orange and white, blue, blue and white, orange, brown and white, brown. What should I do? Usually, the order doesn't matter because cat 5 cable is not used anymore and in one of the example images, it shows cat 5e. Anyway, from my experience with cat 5e I have crimped cables in a different order than I have seen store bought cables crimped so it's no big deal as long as the wires are in the same pattern on both sides.
