Fiber to Home FTTH - WLAN Router, Landline Phone, PC

Then he plugs his phone cable into the router and I just plug my old Panasonic, simple as usual, into the wall in the office?

Yes, that should probably work. You can forget about the phone wire, that's rubbish.

40€ saved too much

Good. But what happens if he only replaces the TAE part with another socket, but uses the cable that is currently in place? We will take the DSL 50,000 contract. Should I then downgrade to 16? Thousand?

How many wires does the cable have?

WLAN router in the utility room right next to the modem should work because it's a small house. Only Ytong. No concrete ceiling to overcome. That would be plan b. Then he plugs his telephone cable into the router and I connect my old simple Panasonic as usual into the wall in the office?

If the WLAN doesn't reach through the house, you could still set up an access point in the attic. Surface mounting in the utility room shouldn't be too disturbing.[/QUOTE]

What happens then, because ripping out the cable no longer works. Karsten

Botched construction. ARdT is multimedia and network/telephone to be laid in the empty conduit. A CAT cable is simply shielded differently, and above all the twisted pairs.

What is outside; does not matter (so what is between the exchange and your modem. Modem and WLAN router communicate anyway at 100Mbit or 1GB.

That can work, but it often actually goes wrong. Or it just stutters under load and you get annoyed about Telekom’s service.

That would work

Too musketier. I think this has nothing to do with saving. It is just the first ftth installation for the guys in their life. We are in SH. Here you often only have dsl 2000 max. That is everyday life.

Thanks anyway. I now have a basis to talk to him.
Best option. Network socket plus new cable! Karl, can that work?
If not, we try WLAN from the utility room.
If too weak, you put an access point on the floor in the middle for me. I'll buy it from you, you provide the cable.
Or better idea?
That's how I will argue. Karsten

Well, I would have just had a network socket installed, no matter what kind of DSL. The difference probably wouldn't even be 40€.

Regarding the solution
There shouldn't have been phone lines for too long that also transmitted 100MBit. The only way is to test it out. 100Mbit would be fully sufficient since the bottleneck would then be the DSL again. If the guys were smart, they might have also laid a network cable and connected a TAE socket to it. That's why my question is, how many wires the cable has.

Maybe you're lucky that Karl laid a CAT cable to the "1st socket"; but that would be a big miracle. (Phone also runs over CAT), otherwise that would be 50-60cts per meter thrown away money.

Netzwerkkabel reingelegt, und einen TAE - Dose darauf geklemmt. Deswegen meine Frage, wie viel Adern das Kabel hat.

The number of cores is initially not very telling; or not fully clarifying. There are plenty of telephone cables with 4x2 cores; it should already be CAT quality with twisted cores. If you sadly only see 2x2, then the case is "crystal clear".

Es soll schon nicht all zu lange Telefonleitungen gegeben habe, die auch 100MBit übertragen haben. Da hilft nur austesten. 100Mbit würde voll ausreichen, da der Flaschenhals dann wieder das DSL ist.

But there are also plenty of cases where it sometimes works/sometimes doesn't. So, just because it is sometimes possible I wouldn't rely on it. Crosstalk is sometimes only visible under "load". Of course, one could measure with a CAT analyzer, but....
