Hi All,

 

I have a typical house wiring where the layout is similar to in the diagram. COM panel have ONT and LAN connection end points to the multiple rooms. As ONT is only servicing on LAN port 1, I have connected it into the lounge and hooked up HG659B router. That basically does internet connection and works as WiFi access point. Room 1 and Room2 Lan connections are not working as expected.

 

Ideally I want to use all the LAN ports. COM panel serving internet to all LAN points and moving WiFi AP into Room 2. TV connected directly to lounge LAN port.

 

My thought was to move router into my COM panel but as you can see its small and cant move my HG659B in there. (I have multiple one so I was hoping I can use the 2nd one as Wifi access point.)

 

So I need your suggestions please, I can buy a small router(gigabit) and place it in there or I can pay electrician to increase the size of COM panel (Big $$$ which I want to avoid). Can you please suggest a router fit for purpose or If there is an alternative better option please let me know?

Hi, yeah was wondering the same hence my question earlier on as to how the ONT was connected, and i agree, first thing I would do is terminate the cables on the keystones in the faceplate.
