Hello,
My house is equipped with a DTI Hager box (like the TN405) located in the garage, along with the electrical panel. Recently, fiber was installed there, with the fiber box and the ONT placed next to the DTI.
However, the internet box is connected in the living room to one of the two available Ethernet sockets. It works well but we would like to connect from the other rooms to the Ethernet sockets or from the second Ethernet socket also located in the living room.
What connections need to be made on the DTI box?
Thank you in advance for your answers and best wishes for 2022!

Hello,
The DTI box is only used for telephony/ADSL. So forget about it, it's of no use for a local Ethernet network.
The best setup is the box in the garage connected to the ONT. That way, if you want to distribute Ethernet throughout the house.
With the box in the living room, you would need to use the second Ethernet wall socket to run down to the garage. And then be able to send the network to the wall sockets in the other rooms.
Provided that in your communication box there are well-wired patch panel sockets for these rooms.
You should send us a photo of the communication box so that we can get an idea of the setup.

Hi,
based on what you're describing, it looks pretty good.
I assume that your box is connected to the ONT installed at the communication cabinet (where the DTI and the patch panel are) via the house's RJ45 wiring?
Just,
why did you put the box in the living room when it should also be at the communication cabinet?
I'm attaching this diagram that has already been shown dozens of times in this forum:

Thank you for your response.
The box is in the living room to ensure proper Wi-Fi coverage in the house for mobile phones.
You just need to plug an Ethernet cable from the box into the second Ethernet socket in the living room to bring the signal down to the DTI, and then connect a cable from the DTI between the living room and another room?
I would like to attach the photos of the DTI, but no matter the format (HEIF, JPEG, PNG...), they won't upload... :(

As mentioned before, the DTI is useless.
By connecting an Ethernet cable between the box and the second wall socket in the living room, it routes the network to the corresponding patch panel socket, one of the 5 sockets to the right of the DTI.
To power another room, you would need to use a cable to bridge between the second socket coming from the living room and the outlet for the room. This only allows powering one room.
To power the remaining 3 sockets, you would need to add an Ethernet switch, which is powered by the second socket coming from the living room, and it distributes the network to the other 3 rooms.

For me,
if it's just for the wifi,
it would be better to invest in a wifi access point, or better yet a mesh wifi system if the house is large, and leave the box, without its wifi, at the communication cabinet.
It's a certain cost, but given the wifi performance of boxes in general, it's often unavoidable.
In short,
you need to choose between a wifi access point and an ethernet switch (two functions provided more or less approximately by the boxes) as an investment.
Everyone is more or less reaching this point today because unless you live in a studio, no ISP claims to cover an entire home, the local network is not their domain and that's just fine.
