Does my router have to be connected directly to the GF modem?
Hello ,
I have a question about connecting my router to the fiber optic modem. Can I connect the router to the fiber optic modem via a LAN port in the house, or does the router have to be connected directly to the modem and placed in the electrical box? We currently have it that way, but apparently we haven't had a fiber optic plan yet that we wanted to switch to. The question now is whether the router can remain connected to the LAN port.
Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Good question.
Yes, you can also connect your router via network cans.
However, there are some aspects:
The network cans are not directly connected to each other. That is to say, each network can ends e.g. in the technical cabinet or cellar etc.
So that you can connect a router via a vested can, you have to do one of the following things.
And that works. Actually, I did that with my parents.
Thank you. I’d like to send a picture, because a part of your answer is too much for me.
Right. Then you just plug into the jack at the other end, the router. And if the other end is in the og, you put it in there.
The white cable seems to be the ADSL / VDSL cable. You have an ADSL/VDSL connection or you will get fiberglass. Then it is enough to dive the VDSL modem against the glass fiber modem. The LAN cable is then simply plugged into the fiberglass modem
Right. The modem is connected to the og socket. There you put the router
The white cable comes from the glass fiber box. It is already a glass fiber modem
Your fiberglass modem has an Ethernet output. You can use it as you want. So to max. 95m extend CAT6/7 cable or even first place on a switch. Then take a separate VLAN. Then “somewhere” on your router.
No. Or partly no.
A switch is not necessary here, since you want to connect two devices directly in principle, there is also a lan cable where the switch stands. (Z.b. on the patch panel).
in front of all, as vlans, etc. for the 0815 people is first too complicated, and in this case it would be absolutely unnecessary.
why is a separate VLAN for the WAN connection plug? What do you do if you have two routers as redundancy/loss security? Take a Y cable? Or how do you want sniffers if you don’t have a mirror port?
Well, for 99% of all internet surfers, it’s not a puff.
Did I say it’s puff? Or did I say that it was a puff in this case?
Did you answer it yourself?
Of course, this is a correct way for certain networks. But not here.
A private network, unlike professional, should follow the motto simplify my life. Because if you get something like that, something doesn’t go, and if you want someone who doesn’t know that, you have the salad.
I’m glad you took the photo.
Then you can leave the router where he is. only it looks like there’s no Lan cable going off. The modem sends the signal to the patch panel. But this must also go via network cable to the network cans in the rooms.
Yeah, I can. However, the following should be taken into account if you want a lan connection in a different room: possibly only one cable goes into each room. Now, if you’re putting the router in the living room, you don’t have a way back into this closet to place a switch there.
However, if you have two plugs in the WZ or you just want Wi-Fi to ignore my answer.
