Here is my challenge.
My house is prewired in every room with cat5 switches all linked in the pantry in a nice metal box.
I want to be able to use at least five of these LAN connections and use my WIFI throughout the house and yard. (2800sf, 10k lot size)
How do I use my wireless router and use all the prewired cat5 without having to have the wireless router stuffed in the metal box? That location kills my WIFI.
I'm running cable internet with a asus RT-N66U Dark Night router.

Currently powering multiple roku's, IP cameras, WEMO devices and about 10 wifi devices via WIFI. Cat5 is powering ps4, three computers and sonos connect.
Can I put the modem in the integrated network box, then go to a eithernet switch for all the rooms I need cat5 and send one to the room where I'll have my router?
I'm horrible with networking, so appreciate the help!
