ok, so I have fiber to the home which comes into my understairs cupboard to the ONT. Below the ONT is a phone socket which you connect the phone cable from the ONT to provide a phone line to two different points, one in the hallway and one into our living room, which we currently have our phone base station plugged into.
To me, the cable that is behind the face plates looks like its Cat 5...
I want to know if I can change the living room and understairs point to a network point?
Then the understairs point would have a patch cable to my router, then I could fit a small switch to the living room point, allowing me to have my TV & PS4, etc. hardwired.
It looks like one single cable runs to the hallway and then the living room connects behind the hallway socket.
Hopefully, these pictures help?
