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

So. Today we had a phone installation. Landline plus DSL or rather FTTH. It took from the application in February until December 4th. The technician arrived at nine and complained about the electrician having installed only a telephone cable, not a CAT cable. The modem in the utility room was quickly set up. But then it got more complicated. "Actually not my job," he said. "But with just the phone cable, we can’t get the signal from the utility room to your office." He sold me a Devolo starter kit solution and installed it on the spot for a small tip, set up the router, speed test showed 45,000 and 9,500 with a 50,000 contract, which is okay. Everything is running. Router is in the office. Wi-Fi throughout the whole house. An extra 150. Got lucky again. What exactly he installed, I don’t understand. Something like using the three phases of the electrical wiring instead of CAT. Karsten

Of course, this is very susceptible to interference and, in my opinion, an absolute no-go for new construction.

Or is there another reason for a network in the office besides just passing through the internet?

Bieber08154 Dec 2017 17:07In my experience (previous rental apartment, currently at my parents' place), the Devolo powerline adapters are reliable. (Of course, a CAT cable would be better in a newly built house, but Nordlys already knows that; as far as I know, we have discussed this topic here before...).
It is what it is. Since we can no longer install any Ethernet cables afterwards, this might not be the worst solution. The PC, which is also used for work, is connected to the network by cable, while the iPhones and iPads use Wi-Fi. I read about dLAN on Wikipedia, but still didn’t really understand it. Then again, I don’t need to know why an induction stove heats up if it works.
