Hello everyone,

I have three phone sockets in our house. One of which is the Master Socket in our living room which has the router connected to it and also has a spare telephone port, one is the former master socket in the hallway (before the living room one was rewired by BT to use as the master instead), and finally, a standard telephone socket in the upstairs bedroom.

My plan is to be able to buy two ethernet socket faceplates to replace the hallway and bedroom sockets with RJ45 ones, and use the existing telephone wiring to make it possible to connect an upstairs device to a downstairs one via ethernet for home networking.

I've taken some photos of the sockets as they are, should these be needed to help answer my question:

Kind Regards,
Jay
