Greetings,
I've been doing some searching and I can't find a solid answer that addresses my personal situation, and with my limited networking knowledge, I don't know how to take what I've read and make it work for me. I have a Motorola SURFboard SB6141 which is connected to a Asus RT-AC68R in the back room of my house, which is where the coax line enters the house. In my living room and master bedroom, I have three devices I'd prefer to be on a hard line and not wifi. My question is, how can I get a hard line to all of those devices? I'm not afraid to cut into walls and install plugs but I don't think it'd be as simple as just running really long Cat5e cables up in the attic to those rooms. I have a vague idea of what a switch is, but I'm not sure I really know how it works well enough, or if that would be something that would work for me. Thanks.
