Topic	Is there a way to get a fiber optic cable upstairs?
Pitlord_Special 09/01/20 8:39:30 AM #24:	zinezinzadan posted... I bought my first home recently. So I bought gigabit Internet as my treat to go with it. But I couldnt receive 1000Mbps over WiFi, so I knew I had to get hard wired upstairs to my bedroom, which is where my PC and Xbox are. Interestingly, All of the upstairs bedrooms in the house have Ethernet jacks on the walls, but for some strange reason I couldnt figure out where is the main Ethernet jack in the home. If I connected my router to the main Ethernet jack, then all of the bedrooms upstairs have cable wired gigabit internet. After looking in the garage, attic, living room, etc... I gave up and bought a 100ft cat7 cable off Amazon, and I ran it upstairs to my bedroom. Its a little embarrassing and I have to explain all my guests why I have a cable across my beautiful wooden floor If you have a newer house, usually the Ethernet jacks will connect in a smart panel or structured wiring panel that is most often in the master bedroom closet or the laundry room. It often looks like a white metal plate that you unscrew and inside youll find the Ethernet cables to each room. You would have to buy an Ethernet switch (usually theres an electrical outlet in the smart panel) and then connect the Ethernet jack to your router to one port and then the Ethernet for your bedrooms on the remaining ports (often the cables are labeled in black sharpie as to what room they go to) --- Posted from my iPhone 8 <cite>Pitlord_Special posted [p:944071607] in Is there a...
