Question Newbie looking for some help connecting up ethernet wall port

[5353will]

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble figuring this out as I am new to this sort of thing.
The ethernet wall ports in my apartment don't work and while I have found a patch panel by the front door nothing I do seems to change anything.
The ethernet ports at the top are numbered 1-6 but only 1-4 have slots to plug in. There are only 4 wall ports in the apartment (also numbered), which is why I thought it must have something to do with that. The wireless modem sits right by the panel so I can feed an ethernet cable in there but not matter where I plug it in nothing seems to happen.
Any advice?

Looking at the picture, it looks like there are some kind of cables behind the aluminum panel (you can see them through the perforations). Those might be the cables to your network connections, I can't tell.

If you are in a multi family apartment building, it's probably not a good idea to be messing with any central patch panels. Contact the landlord/manager/etc..
