NordlysHello, technicians in the forum.
I have the feeling that my electrician is not in control of the situation.
We have FTTH, fiber optic all the way to the house. Since yesterday, there has been a gray box installed with two tubes of fiber optic cables visible. I assumed this was the telecom provider’s equipment. I then watched their FTTH video. They will install a fiber optic modem next to the box. Correct? So far, so good. From the modem, it is then the electrician’s responsibility to continue the wiring. A cable runs inside the walls to my office, where a Wi-Fi router, landline phone, and PC are supposed to be set up. They installed a telephone socket in the wall, a TAE connector. But in the telecom provider’s help video, there is no telephone socket, only a network cable outlet, into which the router is plugged. Then the phone is connected to the router. Is that correct? If so, he still needs to change it.
Please clarify. Karsten

Please clarify Correctly identified. You won’t need a TAE socket. From the modem to the Wi-Fi or whatever, a network cable is required.

If so, he needs to change that.Yes, and above all, he most likely needs to run a new cable. Simply connecting a CAT socket to a TAE/telecommunication line is poor workmanship.
Okay. But what happens if he only replaces the TAE socket with a different outlet, but keeps the existing cable? We will get a DSL 50,000 (50 Mbps) contract. Should I then downgrade to 16,000 (16 Mbps)?
A Wi-Fi router in the utility room right next to the modem should work since it’s a small house. Just Ytong (aerated concrete). No concrete ceiling to get through. That would be plan B. Then he plugs his phone cable into the router, and I just plug my old simple Panasonic phone into the wall socket in the office as usual?
