Set up network with Unitymedia

You can place your provider router or a cable FritzBox next to the antenna socket and connect it to the network socket with a patch cable. In the central cabinet, the keystone modules (termination jacks for the network cables) still need to be installed. If you install a small switch there, you can connect all the network sockets together. This way, all network sockets have internet, and you can install access points.

Normally, I would always separate the router and WLAN, but with the minimal network cabling, I would use a FritzBox 6591 and start with an AVM 2400 on the other floor, which is operated as an access point via LAN. For WLAN, it is always important that the devices are positioned as high and free as possible.

Would it possibly also work if I connect my Connct Box as usual to an MMD, from there the signal goes into the adjacent network socket, in the cabinet the appropriate cable that goes into the switch, and then from the switch to the remaining two network sockets, two access points plus one Apple TV done.

Thanks, you were faster, so I will do it that way.

What still surprises me is that I have four network sockets in the apartment, but there are 5 cables in the closet. I need to find out who installed this.

Maybe the fifth cable goes to the basement. If a fiber optic connection ever comes there, it will go from the modem directly to you upstairs via network cable. If that's the case, someone would have actually thought ahead once.
