Hi, I have a couple questions that I’m not finding proper answers to. I’m trying to move my modem from basement to my office. I understand that I will need to run new cat5e from the NID outside to a phone jack in the office which I can then take to the modem.

In the NID the ISP terminated to the protectors and then brought wires to the consumer modules, but looking at what has been done i think at some point the second module went bad and they abandoned it and took a pair directly over to the protectors. When I replace my cable can I just duplicate what is already been done? Is that safe?
Secondly I would like to bring Ethernet into 2 bedrooms. Do I plug 2 cords into the ports and run them to wall plates in those rooms and then to devices? Will I get any sort of loss in speed by doing that rather that plugging directly into devices from the modem? View: https://i.imgur.com/ENB82uk.jpg

DSL Service?

Who is your ISP?

Make and model modem? Make and model router (or modem/router if combined)?

For the most part, you may be able to connect the modem to an existing telephone wall jack in the office.

FYI:

Read and google for similar links as necessary.

Likewise find the applicable modem and router User manuals for more information.

Sketch out a simple diagram showing the planned telephone and network connections.

Does not need to be fancy. Just clear enough to show wiring paths, locations, and connected devices.

Post accordingly.

Maybe I over complicated this. In the picture MY two greens go straight over to the protectors and not the module. When installing the new cat5e cable am I safe to duplicate what I see in the picture
