ᐅ Fiber to the Home (FTTH) – Wi-Fi Router, Landline Phone, Computer

Hello, 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

I would seriously doubt that. Most current switches/routers wouldn’t even recognize such a cable.Why is that? 100Base-T only requires two pairs of wires. Anyone claiming to support this standard can handle that. Whether the cable quality is sufficient can only be determined by testing. Of course, there’s nothing groundbreaking about this, but installing a network outlet on both ends and testing it is no big deal.

I don’t really care whether you tolerate shoddy work or not. I was just pointing out how this could still be fixedWillo, your suggestion to put the router in the utility room and, if necessary, install access points is still valid. I just want to first try whether it works with the Cat 4 cable. If yes, great; if not, Willo.

Ok, however, 100Base-TX is not something I would expect in a new build. Besides, having the router in the utility room actually has only advantages.I understand. But it uses only four wires, and the external connection provides just 50 Mbit, so a 100 Mbit network link is sufficient. Sure, Karsten’s FTTH connection already supports 200 Mbit, which would create a bottleneck. But I believe before Karsten can upgrade his service, he first needs to transfer the connection to the utility cabinet. So, this setup works fine for now.
