Need help with whole home networking. Did research but I don’t think I understand the process enough to decipher. I have AT&T as my IP. My set is as follows:
Home configured with cat5 in all rooms routing to basement.
AT&T hub?(picture below) is in basement.
wire from hub goes up to room on second floor and connects (hardwired) to AT&T router/modem.
Wife‘s computer is hardwired to modem.
I want to:
Connect remaining rooms to the network. However, when I disconnect the cat5 going to the AT&T hub in the basement and connect it to a switch. I lose all WiFi and still have no wired internet in the other rooms. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
