Hello all,
I hope this isn't going to be too wordy, but I want to provide as much info as I can. Please let me know if anyone wants more details about anything or pictures, whatever I can provide.
I bought a brand new home about a year ago. I moved in knowing that every room in the house had an Ethernet cable pulled to it and I was very excited about this as I've never had a fully wired house before. I quickly lost my excitement when the tech from Frontier came to install FIOS at my house.
He pointed out to me that every cable had been run to the outside of my house, the exterior of one of my garage walls. I was thinking, no problem he can make them all live when he installs the Frontier Box on the outside of my house to terminate the FIOS line. I was wrong again.
He could only make one of the Ethernet ports inside my house live. I wasn't happy but what choice did I have. I chose the one in my office and have run a wireless router ever since. Now I want a change.
I am looking for any suggestion of how I can get all the other ports in my house live so that I can stream from my media server without having to deal with the lag of my wireless network.
I know that I can pull the Ethernet cables back through the wall so that they are on the inside of my garage rather than the outside. What network rack enclosure suggestions do people have for me? Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
