Enabling wired Ethernet at different spots in house

[ReaderEd]

Hi all, trying to set up my home network so that I can draw wired Ethernet connection from the various points in my house. Right now, I just have the onr. How should I connect/what should I get so that I can wired connection from the various cable points in my house?

I would like to have a wired connection directly to two computers which are in different rooms.

Also, I would like to have a mesh network so I can use my wireless devices.

Really a beginner at this so thanks for the help in advance!

You need a gigabit switch, perhaps one with at least 12 ports, or two 8 port ones. That grey cable plug to one of the ports on the switch, then each port on the switch should be linked to each port on your patch panel with a cable.

Seeing that you only have one power point inside the db box you may also need a small power strip to power the switch and the onr together.

For ONR , just connect all the ports( Except the one for IPTV) to the panel above your ONR.
From each Room, put in a router and configure it as Access Point ( Do not connect the LAN cable to the WAN PORT) then you will have extra LAN Ports to use as well as Wireless connection.

The MESH is redundant since you have wire backhaul. It will not lose out much .

you need at least an 8 port unmanaged switch to plug all 10 ports in your panel.

7 from unmanaged switch, 3 from onr. 1 from each to connect to each other.

You need enough power for the onr and the switch in the cupboard
You connect one short Ethernet patch lead from the onr to the switch
One patch lead from patch panel socket shown in your photo to a switch port depending on how many ports you want to include (this also determines the size of your switch needed)
You are right that you want a mesh with wired back haul. If you want to have an access point in each room and also a wired connection to a pc or tv in the same room you either need a wireless access point in that room with Ethernet pass through or you need to put a small switch in that room (wall socket to switch and then a small lead to the access point and wired device)
The reason you still want a mesh (but with wired back haul not radio mesh) is you want to be able to roam devices across a single sid / WiFi network seamlessly. I would suggest looking at either ruckus or unifi for your access points.
Feel free to message if you need more advice

no need mesh la.
TS has so many ports in the cabinet, means every room has ethernet cabling just need to light it up .
Just create a few APs (w same ssid) wired to the switch that earlier post recommend can already. This can be cheaply & easily done by anyone.

Beware of people trying to "sell" you extra equipment for their "free" advice.

srsly, ruckus or unifi is total overkill. its like telling the person to buy ferrari when all he wants is to go to the market. Unless the person is a tech nerd . But if he is he wouldnt ask such basic question here.

Have a similar patch panel set up at home. Tried your method with Asus zen mini in AP mode but doesnt work. Any ideas what I should be doing?

you need to be more descriptive if you want a direct ans. not sure what is the issue you need help with.

have you done this ?
APs > ethernet port in room> patch panel > router/switch > singtel/M1/sh ONT

google about setting routers into AP mode to understand more.
self-help is best help

Hi.
Sorry for not being detailed enough. I have been googling on the set up actually. And this is really my last resort seeking helping. If can’t set up a wired backhual then can only live with wireless mesh.

What I tried was this:

fibre Access point to Singtel Nokia router (onr I believe) to patch panel to AP

I am using zen wifi AX mini (XD4) and has set the default router to AP mode.

do I need a non managed gigabit switch?

ONR - patch panel - xd4 ( main in AP mode ) & nodes should work as you intended.
