Hi all,
I'm working with a house with structured wiring, cat 6 runs to various locations throughout the house, all terminating in a panel in the garage. The house has UFB, the ONT is installed in the panel in the garage, along with a network switch, and a telephone distribution board.
ISP is 2degrees, LFC is enable (so no VOIP via the ONT) - I've talked to 2d about this and we came to the conclusion that they can't think of a way to make it work how I want. However I'm wondering whether anyone else might have had some luck.
I want to have my router (a Fritz!Box) in a location on the other side of the house, that has two runs of Cat 6 between it and the garage panel. Right now, I've got analogue phone ports working around the house as well as wifi, with the following setup:
ONT LAN 1 patched to port connected to Fritz Box LAN 1
Telephone distribution board is patched to port connected to Fritz!Box FON 1 (ATA port)
However, I can't seem to get a config working that also allows me to use the Fritz!Box as my internet gateway and DHCP server for the wired network. I've tried the following:
ONT LAN 1 -> switch port 1 (garage), Fritz Box LAN 1 -> switch port 2, computer -> switch port 3, but it appears that in this configuration the Fritz!Box doesn't listen to any traffic.
Is there any way I can have all three functions working without running a third cable run (i.e. setup i'm running now, plus Fritz LAN 2 -> switch)? Can i use 100mbit and ATA on the same cable, two pairs each, leaving me a separate port for gigabit between Fritz LAN 2 and switch? Or is this going to cause me issues?
Thanks all!
