Hello everyone,

In our new apartment, there is a network socket in every room, and I would like to set up a Wi-Fi network using them. The connection should still be through Unitymedia, so via the cable connection. Currently, all the network cables come together in the distribution cabinet.

Now the question is, what do I need to connect my Unitymedia modem and distribute the signal accordingly? I am attaching a photo of the cabinet.

Good luck and thanks for the help.

Patch panel, switch, access points – for these you will need an electrician

Alternatively, fully utilize the router’s ports (however many it has).

Also try searching for network setup or similar terms to get an idea of how and with which devices this is done.

So far so good, but how do I actually connect to the signal from the cable connection?
