[QUOTE="Doug Watts, post: 912129, member: 55069"] Bill, My house was prewired to a panel in our master BR closet. It has the phone and ethernet jacks all in one place. I'll try to take a picture and post it so you can see what you'll need. There is a special punchdown panel you'll need for the ethernet lines vs. phone lines you want so you can plug in a patch cord from the router to the panel to get connectivity. For your points above... #1 - I think you can do it, but I wouldn't cuz you need a different board for the ethernet lines anyway. #2 - Won't work. Phone and ethernet patch panels work different. #3 - Won't work. Can't do that with ethernet cables. #4 - Yes, you will have to do this. [/QUOTE]
