Move Orange box

Hello everyone,

I have a Livebox 5 fiber, which is currently in my garage.

I would like to move it into the house. However, I'm not quite sure how to go about it, as I still want to be able to connect my RJ45 sockets.

The connection that the technician made seems strange to me...

Attached are the photos.

How would you go about putting this box in another room?

Thank you!

    Hello,

    The connection is nothing unusual.

    The technician only connected one of the 4 outputs of the box to one of the 7 sockets of the patch panel.

    If I'm not mistaken, the box is connected to socket 2 labeled "Buro."

    There's a black cable connected to socket 5 labeled Xbox. Where does this black cable go???

    Do you know the destination of the 7 sockets of the patch panel?

    The position of the box is the best possible. You can add 3 patch cords to the outputs of the box to connect to the free sockets of your choice to bring the Internet to 3 different locations in your home.

    If you want all the rooms to be connected, you will need to add a switch (4 or 5 ports) between one of the outputs of the box and connect the patch panel sockets to it.

    Very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
    Especially when it's not there...

      Hi,

      Actually, the technician does not need to connect the box to the patch panel and test the house wiring; his job is limited to connecting it to the fiber.

      Besides, it would be a good idea to move the discussion to wiring instead of fiber, as it has nothing to do with fiber.

      It is absolutely correct that the best place for the box is in that location, and it would be interesting to know the reason that would require moving it, especially a livebox which is really suited for that.

      The black cable appears to be connected to Ethernet port 3 of the box.
