Fritzbox All devices on LAN01 lose connection?
Hello,
I have connected a new Fritzbox 5590 Fiber and from the router connection LAN01, it goes to the distributor where all devices in the house are connected via LAN cable.
Should I distribute everything to different LAN ports on the Fritzbox? Since it has five or six LAN ports available. I've illustrated it a bit in Paint so it's understandable.
The question is, does this make sense, or will it cause some kind of loss if all LAN traffic is sent through the single cable if multiple devices are sending data simultaneously? Because everything actually has to go through the small, thin fiber optic cable anyway.
I'm also considering moving the old Fritzbox 7590 to a second floor as a mesh repeater. Perhaps the speed will be higher on the second floor. Edit: I've done it, and it seems to be working fine.

If your so-called “distributor cabinet” is only a patch field where the cables arrive from the network cans in the house/in the apartment, and No Switch is, your drawing only makes sense when you each Connect with a LAN port of the router. If you want to connect more rooms/network cans than your router has LAN ports, then must Turn a switch in between to deliver the necessary ports. In this case, the question is not whether you need to connect all individually or a cable would be enough (a patch panel connects the cables) not Instead only supplies the end points of individual cables and only one switch produces this “cable connection”.
So the “distributor” is a switch so n cabinet where a LAN cable is connected from the router to the switch and everything in the LAN cable house is connected to the switch. So everything goes with a cable to the router.
The question is whether this is sensual or I have seen 2 LAN cables (or more) on the switch from the router to the switch, so that not everything through a cable has to go through but only through 2. or more.
A distributor is not a patch field
You can try to use 2 cables there. With this you build a network loop and over time, broadcaststorms build up and the entire network is getting slower and slower because the bandwidth is full with broadcasts.
This can only be done with professional switches that you configure accordingly.
I only have one cable from my router to the switch and can also recognize a sense in placing several cables from the router to the switch. This puts the “Internet bottle neck” exactly 50 cm further away from the router. In-house communication goes via the switch and internet traffic anyway at the latest on the fiber optic interface to your “contract speed”. In my case, I have a 250 MBit/s contract and Inhouse 1 GBit/s LAN. So what would I have to put 4 x 1 GBit/s cable from the router to the switch? The congestion finally occurs somewhere else.
Your LAN connection from the switch to the Fritzbox can be the same maximum speed as the connection to the outside world. If you push files back and forth on the network at the same time, it doesn’t affect the Fritzbox, so the connection doesn’t matter.
