At our place, the house connection is also in the dark room in the corner and the office is in a completely different corner.
Besides the LAN cabling, we are currently leaning towards also laying a telephone cable in two places in the house (kitchen + office).
If I were to place the router, for example, in the office and connect it via the telephone cable, I could connect the LAN cable at the LAN port, which runs back to the house connection room, and supply the main house there via LAN through the patch panel.
Basically exactly what 11ant has already explained.
But that doesn't sound really optimal yet.
Another option would be to leave the router in the house connection room, supply all rooms via LAN, and set up a WLAN access point where desired.
Are there now phones that can be connected via WLAN or do I still need a telephone cable from the router to the phone's location?
