Hey guys I’ve been planning to construct my home network, I have around 4 cat5e cable runs throughout my house when it was built in 05. They haven’t been terminated and are just sitting in my basement (lucky me). The only problem is the Moca crap with fios and their cable. I don’t have DVR so I don’t really care if I lose some of the features but I do want guide working. I have a 3400 sqft house w a 50/50 plan w fios. I was thinking of getting my own router and switching the ONT to Ethernet instead of moca. The problem I have is i can’t find the open Ethernet port.

If I figure that out my home network would go as followed cables > patch panel > router (normal all in one and use as switch for ports since I only have 4 runs) > 5port switch in my room for pc and ps4 since I only have a one gang cat 5e keystone. Rest of rooms only need one
If there’s anything wrong w my theoretical home network please lmk and I do need a recommendation for a good router for basement. And should I use old aciontec mI4WR router as an access point for upstairs and ig can keep the tv stuff running because of the coax attached to it
