Hello everyone, I’ve moved into a giant new villa, so there are RJ45 sockets and a patch panel with 300,000 wires and plenty of RJ45s for all the rooms. Currently, without anything connected, it’s impossible to get internet with the box; if I connect a cable to the OP2 port and link it to a corresponding port in a room, I can connect the box to the internet in that room only, and the other rooms are not supplied. I don’t understand how to set this up. The internet works, and all the RJ45s I’m using have been tested by me within the last hour. I would like to connect the box directly to the patch panel or in the living room AND distribute all the RJ45 sockets in the other rooms, or at least one of my choice to test before getting a switch! I will try to take the best quality photos possible so you can help/advice me because I’ve tried everything and I’m lost :/ thanks again for your future help.

If the number of rooms is equal to or less than the number of RJ45 ports on your box, you don't need a switch. You just need some small RJ45 network cables, one cable = one port from the box to one port on the splitter to a room, etc.

port 1 of the box to port 1 of the splitter > room 1
port 2 of the box to port 2 of the splitter > room 2
etc...

  I understood that yes, but that's not my problem. To have this logic, my box needs to be directly connected to the panel/rack, right? And the problem I have is that when I connect the box to the panel, it does not provide an internet connection.

Where should I plug the ADSL RJ11 cable from the box into the rack?

  Hello,
  we need to look at the whole bay to say that, not just a few wiring details.
  The first photo, on the right, shows the TV distribution, you can ignore that for now.
  The second photo is the back of the RJ45 patch panels, but the wiring might not be very efficient, it seems more suited for telephony than for Ethernet.
  The outlets corresponding to the rooms are indeed 1, 2, 3, 4... there are two outlets in each room because each number corresponds to two outlets, but only one 4-pair cable, it seems.
  In any case, to get ADSL on your box at this patch panel, you evidently need to connect it to OP2.

  Hello, I did indeed connect it to op2, but how did you come to that conclusion? I spent over 4 hours testing the wiring to find out that I needed to connect the RJ11 cable from the box to op2??? And won't it damage the socket to plug the RJ11 into the RJ45?

    No, it doesn't damage the RJ11; the only thing it would damage is the RJ45 if it's of poor quality.
    As for the OP2 socket, that's what you said at the beginning ;-)
    You said you were connecting it to the patch panels to get internet in the rooms.
    Otherwise, does the Ethernet network work on these sockets?

  oh yeah okay that's how you were able to deduce that, yes well indeed! but it took me time and I did 3000 tests for it to finally work! what do I need to do to say that the problem is resolved? :0

  And yes, I have internet throughout the house via the Ethernet sockets.

Is it Portuguese equipment?

On this patch panel, is there an RJ11 telephone line input?

  Well apparently, the phone/ADSL needed to be connected to the bay at plug op2 :/ it's the only one that delivered internet to the box :0
