    Hello,

    It seems that your installation is currently set up to distribute the phone throughout the house.

    You need to connect the Freebox to one of the four outputs under the DTI. You can unplug all the others.

    Then you need to connect the Ethernet outputs of the Freebox to the RJ45 sockets that correspond to your rooms. Do not use the small cables present; they should only be used for the phone.

    We assume that the installation has been properly done to be used with Ethernet. This means that 4-pair cables are being used and that they are all connected to the connectors, not just for the phone where often only one pair is connected.

    Best regards

      Ok thanks, the Freebox is working, that's progress! Thanks for that! However, I still don't have internet in the requested room.... How can I tell if the wiring is suitable for Ethernet and not just intended for the phone? There is a 5 2400mhz wideband splitter compatible with 6 directions, is there no information in this gibberish?

      The splitter is for the TV.

      Did you have the Freebox in a room before? If so, the connection to that room worked, so that's the one we should test first.

      Do you have an Ethernet cable to connect the Freebox to an RJ45 outlet? You should check the output of the Freebox and the cable with a PC, and do the same for the one in the room connecting the wall socket to the PC.

      After that... we would need a small device to test the connectivity.
