This is an excellent capability of your new home, though you might need to hire the local computer person to help you get it sorted.

And it’s reasonably neat - there are people on here who expect these cabinets to be pristine with wires all straight and routed and shit – it works just fine with a LITTLE ‘spaghetti’.

First question is: what is your internet source and where is it – because it’s not in this box.

Second question: do you really need that many ethernet outlets activated around the house? If you don’t expect to use an outlet it doesn’t need to be connected. You can always change your mind later.

Third: as others have stated, the network switches at the bottom are out-of-date. Replacing the two with a modern 16-port switch will be a good idea as long as any new device you buy will physically fit in the space!

Again your whole house appears wired for both coax (television) and ethernet - and that’s fantastic! Decide what your goals are for this connectivity and then we go from there.

p.s. You will probably want to buy a mesh wifi network setup and use your existing wiring to connect each wifi transmitter back to the central mothership!

I’m a fan of one network - let your devices decide what band they want to use.

Except I encourage my workstation to use 5GHz by making it the preferred bank in the network adapter setting - because the speed is significantly faster.

For tv’s and stuff, fast enough is fast enough.

…I’d still put my two most important devices (one being my own workstation) into those those router ports you aren’t using - why put 2 devices through a switch if you don’t have to…
