Hi folks,
I've just moved into a new build. The original spec of the house has a simple ethernet directly between the study and the master bedroom. When reserving we specified two extra ethernet ports - one in the lounge and one in the back bedroom (total 4x RJ45 faceplates). I've come to connect up my kit to these ports and nothing is working.
I've never used ethernet in a home environment before so this is a new experience for me but from my experience of office ethernet I thought that each ethernet port had to be cabled directly a network switch panel, is that right? I do not have any other cables or ports anywhere except the single ports in each of the rooms described which leads me to wonder whether the developer has "daisy-chained" or "starred" (or a combination of both) the ethernet cables within the RJ45 faceplates. Can such an arrangement work or should I be going back to the developer to tell them they've wired the ethernet incorrectly?
Many thanks!
