Hi all,
Quick noob question. We live in an apartment complex and in our unit, the patch panel is in one of the bedroom closets. There's ethernet hookups in all rooms. Traditionally I've always had the modem stuffed into the patch panel, then connected to the router, with patch cables running into the board in the patch panel that connects to all the rooms. Only issue sometimes is the router's signal is weaker further away from the patch panel since it's stuffed in the closet.
I'd basically like to get stronger wifi signal in further reaches of the apartment. Is there a way to have the router be in the living room? Can the modem hook up to a switch and then have patch cables going into the board from a swtich, and have a router connected to an ethernet outlet in another room?
Thanks for any advice!
