Hey everyone,

I recently moved into a new house and found a few Cat5 outlets installed throughout the home, 2 on the second floor and 1 in the living room. After checking behind the wall plates, I noticed the wiring is daisy-chained from Bedroom 1 → Master Bedroom → Living Room, and only the phone pair has been terminated at each outlet.

I understand that Ethernet generally shouldn’t be daisy-chained like phone lines. However, I’ll only be using a single Ethernet connection for my own setup, so I’m wondering if it’s still possible to repurpose the existing Cat5 cabling into one continuous Ethernet run between two points.

Would someone with more experience be able to explain the process of properly connecting or bypassing the daisy-chained section so all the Ethernet pairs continue through correctly?

My experience with cabling is pretty limited (the most I’ve done is install a dash cam into the car's fuse box), so I’m mainly trying to understand how the process works before attempting anything.

Hey gents, I just moved into a new property that been built recently. It’s a two-storey house with 4 bedrooms upstairs, and 3 of them have data ports. I’ve been searching around the house for a communications box/cabinet but haven’t been able to find one anywhere, except for the security system box in the master bedroom (found out it was the alarm box the hard way).

A few days ago, I had an NBN technician come out and install the FTTP NBN box inside and outside the property. The connection itself isn’t active yet because there’s a blockage in the street that another tech apparently needs to sort out before service can be established.

My question is: could these data ports support Ethernet? And if so, since I can’t find a communications cabinet anywhere, would plugging an Ethernet cable from the router into the downstairs data port potentially provide connectivity to the bedroom ports upstairs? Or does this setup usually mean there’s a hidden communications box somewhere in the house?

Edit: there are foxtel ports in the bedrooms

Would be nice to have a server dedicated to the F30, Considering how common of a car it is. What do you guys think?

It would be good to format info about the car etc.
