I think I would rather have the ONT in the garage, is it acceptable to just have it on a garage hardboard wall next to the Fuse box, or does it have to go in a home distributor box? Signetcomms have them for approx $200, what would be the minimum purchase needed?
If so, initially would just run a single run of Cat5e from the ONT to the living room myself, under the house and have the RGW (modem) there, with allowance made for a return run back to a future patch panel in the garage.
If decide to have the ONT in the house, in the picture below star 1 is behind the sofa, and is where the coax from the aerial and sky dish come in, and is near a double socket. Hides the ONT currently, but modem is difficult to access.
Star 2 is behind a bookcase, also by double socket. Also currently hides the ONT, and modem is easier to access, but is not next to the coax cables (have no TV in the house).
Star 3 is next to a double socket.
If it was your house, where you put the ONT?
