Can you identify this setup?
Hello, I've recently moved out of my home and into a new townhome. When I went to the closet where all the network cables are, it was a bit different than my previous home. In total I have seven...
Looks like it is required. Something to do with older wiring in the area and this converts it to fiber speeds.
Now what I need is an Ethernet switch. Does anyone recommend one that supports VLAN setup that I can use with the RBR 900 series?
Try NGs GS-108T or just a GS-108 non manages to see if the RBR can connect to this ONT correctly.
Direct connect RBR to ONT doesn't work?
I think I need a switch to connect the other Ethernet jacks on the first and third floors though. Trying to figure out how I can use the Ethernet jacks in all of the rooms in my house. I can't fit the RBR in the panel box with the ONT. It's way too big. Right now the Ethernet cable leading from the ONT in the photo is connected to the CenturyLink router in a different room. I can remove the CenturyLink router and use the RBR. It works and I tried it. But since the RBR is another room I can't plug in the three other Ethernet cables that are in the panel box in the photo.
Don't I need to purchase a switch for that? Not really sure how to set this part up. If I plug the switch directly to the ONT, I should be able to plug in the other Ethernet cables in the panel box to it, correct? Do I just ensure one of those leads back to the RBR in the other room?
Ya you need to get from this ONT point to the RBR. Then from the RBR, you'll need to bring back a cable to this area, and a non managed GS-108 port switch to connect from the RBR to these other LAN cables that go to other places in the home.
