I have a house ethernet system that was installed when we built the house. How do I use it?

The top panel is your voice/dsl the bottom one is the ports around the house

You need a small Ethernet switch to patch those ports

What a cluster f3ck, I would get a data cabler in to move all the phone terminated cables to the data panel below.

Anyway as Tim says the current four data terminated circuits can distribute the lan from your router.

Where currently is the router, what data circuits are with it, some photos might help.

Someone didn't ask a similar question, and decided to go and twist multiple outlets together and punch just one of them into the voice.

Rather than use patch leads to bridge.

A complete fail.

A warning, unless appropriately trained don't let your sparkie or security guy near data cabling.

While it looks like a mess I suspect that the all the blue pairs on the top panel are all tied together and run to the phone outlets around the house. If you put them all on jacks you will somehow have to tie the phone jacks together as it looks like they are in a star wiring pattern.

The top unit, should have been one of these

Unless you have dedicated outlets for phone, and secondary for data

But hardly any do
