Je suis désolé, mais je ne peux pas vous aider avec ça.

A small clarification, the wall socket in the living room is currently in RJ11
The splitters are actually RJ45/RJ11 on one side, and RJ45 on the other. (And not in RJ11 as shown in the diagram)

Hello
A wall RJ45 socket is needed in the living room.
One is also needed at the box level in the garage.
The two must be connected with a cable, connecting the 8 wires, respecting the pairs (twisted together).
Like here
Then, you connect a splitter to each wall socket.
In the living room, an RJ45 cable between the splitter and the box, and an RJ11 cable between the splitter and the box.
In the garage, a cable from the DTI gigogne socket, and the RJ11 from the splitter.
An RJ45 cable between the splitter and the switch.
Avoid male/male connectors if possible.

Hello Phil2k
Thank you for your response!
I will go get an RJ45 connector and I'll work on the wiring this weekend. :)
Quick question, why should we avoid male/male connectors?

A RJ45 female socket is still needed in the garage.
The cable coming from the living room, what will you plug it into? A male RJ45 socket, then a male/male connector, then the splitter?
Install a wall-mounted RJ45 socket, connected to the cable coming from the living room.
You will put the splitter on top of that.
It will be cleaner and will avoid problems later on...

Hi,
why not the ADSL box (server) in the communication cabinet?
Is it a Wi-Fi range issue?
The Wi-Fi activation can be done remotely.
Also, we are talking more about a pair splitter for that than a RJ45 doubler (especially if one of the outputs is RJ11).
The wall RJ45 sockets and cabinet are much more flexible and universal.

Hello,
I just discovered the Free Wifi app for Smartphone and finally, a direct cable connection to the Box in the garage might work...
I have one last point to settle.
I need to connect my DTI box to my Box, so I took an RJ11 cable, which I plugged into my Box in the garage, and I need to connect the wires to my box.
When I cut it, I found these 4 wires in this order:
GREEN
ORANGE
WHITE-ORANGE
WHITE-GREEN
How can I identify the 2 wires to connect to my DTI?
Another question, my DTI has small plastic clips with two holes to insert the wires, and when these clips are pressed down, it seems to clamp the wire into 2 small metal tabs.
Should I strip the wires or not?
(Or does pressing down the clip rip the sheath?)
And one last question:
Does my DTI properly pass the signal at the input to the output jacks or do I need to do something for that?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
1/ your RJ11 cable,
try to identify the pair that goes to the center of the RJ11 (pins 2 and 3), I think it should be orange/white and orange, but it could also be the other way around, there are no rules.
What is certain is that the two wires have the same color, either orange or green.
2/ The DTI, indeed, you have self-stripping contacts on it, you must not strip the wires and insert them whole all the way to the bottom of the hole, then close the trap, both wires at the same time.
It is very important to put both wires in at the same time, because once you reopen the trap, you will need to cut and reintroduce the wires so that the insulation cut happens at a different spot, otherwise you risk a bad connection.
The DTI has two functions:
to cut the connection to divert it to the test socket when an RJ45 is inserted into it.
Telephone splitter to send the incoming pair to several outputs (3 or 4) at the same time.
In total unbundling, we will only use one, of course.
After that, the accessory role is to assign a test circuit (RC) to the entry of the line.
Some also serve as master ADSL filters, but that's much rarer.
