Awesome thanks for watching! Here is another video on the cat6 cable drop and wall fishing. This one is a little longer but shows how to wire drop in your attic space. th-cam.com/video/qcET-OgrCCY/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!
Looking for my first house, and it seems like this guy installs outlets all over the place. Not levelled, and not in line with eachother if side by side. Takes two fucking seconds to measure it, but a good hour to take it off and patch the drywall.
Yeah, I definitely would have lined it up with the other outlet. And given it am actual low voltage box too (this seems like a weird scenario to use drywall anchors in).
i use rj45 to rj45 keystone couplers in my network installations. (blue of course) yeah he could have bought a shorter 3 foot cable. or do what i do and get the cable in bulk. can make patch cables all day long that way. i bought 300 pass through rj45's just to make sure i do not run out.
As a professional in the industry I can tell you that you never want to un-twist the pairs. Leave them twisted all the way to point of contact with the connector for best speed connection and more importantly for those longer distances.
If your new ethernet cable doesn't work check the way you've wired it. Both ends need to have the same wiring combination. There are two types of combinations, A and B. They are colour coded on the port.
This looks so intimidating, but it's not too hard once you do it yourself. And despite this not being the best and the most, it's a simple way to add Ethernet jacks throughout your home.
It wouldn't take much extra time to do this job right. Get a P-Ring from Home Depot and use the drywall saw to cut it in. It really wouldn't take much effort to get this job done right.
or a low voltage bracket. My mind was melting from watching this video. Does he have any idea how big of a hole those anchors would make if he had to remove them? Also the sheetrock might even cut into the cable itself.
Hey Buddy, whoa, two words: “cable management” In the opening scene, behind your family-room TV, the cables look like a rats’ nest. A butt-clenching horror show to anal retentives. Please fix that. Otherwise, good instructive video. 😁
Here is the video where I clean up the wires and wall mount the switch. th-cam.com/video/KS_HxoRGyKM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and I even added the low voltage gang wall plate in a more recent video.
Yep I've used that string many many times however I've been wiring ethernet cables for so long I can strip the wires without cutting the inner wires. But thank you for noticing and since this is an instructional video I should have used the string. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
@@ITX-EcoClass Inside the cable housing is a thin string you can pull on which will cut/tear the housing as you pull the string down the length of the cable.
So what if I already have an Ethernet outlet thing and want to hook up my router across the room to my room outlet how does that work? Hope that made sense.
That ehternet port you want to connect to your router has a wire that goes somewhere in your house. Usually a network panel or box. That area is where your router should be and that ethernet wire needs to connect to the routers LAN port. I hope that helps. I have about 90 videos in My Ultimate Home Networking Playlist so make sure to check them out. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
Interesting video, however, Ethernet patch cords contain multi-strand conductors. These should never be connected to punch-down terminals which are designed for solid copper conductors. A better and simpler way may have been to put a plate on both sides of the wall and fitted both keystone plates with modular couplers connected together inside the wall with a short patch cord. Also, should have made the plate level with the adjacent plates.
I went back 3 weeks later and added the low voltage bracket and straightened it. Here is the video of that install. th-cam.com/video/4CUyU_v2qS0/w-d-xo.html
Great video, really enjoyed watching this. I'm wiring a new ethernet port into my bedroom today in my flat where my PC is because the one put in by the building owners isn't using high quality cables and can't handle my G Fast speeds with BT (here in the UK). Really informative video!

Quick question instead of having the open mount shown could you have 2 female wall ports? For example if one of the cables ends up going bad because of various reasons you would need to redo the entire cable alternatively if you have 2 female ports the wire is 100% in the wall. You would need an ethernet cable to go from the wall to the router but it should still work right? Wanting to confirm this before doing it.
This is what I plan on doing, going from my bedroom were the router is, have a double female cable, to plug in the incoming cable, then I can connect a cable on the other side to wire the living room
I did but not on camera. I installed a low voltage gang plate that attaches to the drywall and it's super easy. I didn't have it on the day of filming so I did what I could and just improvised. Thank you for great comment and for watching I really appreciate it.
I'm planning to have an installation done and cabler is going to be using something like that standard cable between the length of 40 m (131 ft) to 50 m (164 ft) That's gotta be a standard indoor Cat6 cable right Can you use that for outdoor installation given that cable is placed inside a conduit for roughly about 10 m (32 ft) because part of the installation is going to be outdoor above ground strung up by roof overhang level According to electrician cable installer conduit is able to protect (length part of cable exposed outdoor) from direct UV rays or sunlight and various temperatures changes so cable maintains maximum performance
Google was telling me this was gonna be extremely hard this was VERY SIMPLE to understand 👍👍 now I'm gonna see where the closest ethernet port is to this room in my house lol
Awesome, glad to help. This is another video I posted 2 months ago that shows the attic space and the Network Panel. th-cam.com/video/qcET-OgrCCY/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching.
If you’re going to leave the other end as just a hole in the wall then why not just put a hole in the wall and run the cable right through it? Or why not install a cat 6 jack on both sides?
I did that about a month later. Just didn't make a video about it. I actually have 3 Cat6 lines on the other side of the wall, 1 going in and 2 going out. I will make a video on that install. I also made a video on the low voltage gang wallplate install and added a second cat6 port to the room. Its on my front page of my channel. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Im building a house and i want to have internet cable in all rooms, and connect the cable with the router, will i have internet connection in all rooms
Yes, if you are building a new house then run all cat6a cables to each room. I would go ahead and run 2 to each room for future expansion or if one cable fails. Even run some cat6a to your kitchen and your back patio. If you plan on installing PoE security cameras then run cat6 to each corner of your house where you will install the cameras. The other ends of these cat6 cables will all go to one location called the network panel. This will have your modem, router and switch. I have 50 plus videos on all of these subjects with installation examples so make sure to check them out. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well.
Question here. @00:40 What is the wall trim plate in the middle called and where can I get those? I want to run four premade ethernet cables through my wall and that is the ideal solution for me. Thanks in advance!
@@UltimateTechHub Thanks for your speedy reply. I found some of those on Amazon. I am merely running four ethernet cables from my "office" where my network equipment is located to my living room which is next to my "office". I needed to keep it simple and cheap.
I don't have any cat8 available in my area so cat6 works just fine. I have cat6a which can handle 10gig which is plenty of speed for now and into the future. Thank you for the great comment and for watching.
Probably not, unless you are doing some seriously large file transfers between computers. Cat7 wont help with most internet speeds unless you have 1gig fiber or 2gig fiber. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.
@@UltimateTechHub Thanks I went ahead to buy Cat8 as the price difference is not too huge; shall reupdate with the speed difference. Thank you for your reply.
My dad's a journeyman certified electrician. I might have him do this for my room up stairs since wifi is bad plus I'm afraid of getting a tv for wifi. I didn't know it was this CHEAP to install Ethernet.

You are underestimating the cable cost and cable-pulling scope of this installation. What is shared here is just a very simple port installation. Your dad will know the pain of it. Talk to him instead, might get a better picture from a professional.
@@UltimateTechHub How about instailling just the back box directilly to the wall without cutting dry wall.. I want to put a connecting in the attic.. and put it on wood..

Dab Man That works too. I have some some of sewing tool that looks like a short, tapering ice pick.About 7-8cm long and 7-8mm in width. But I prefer to know the proper size. Battery powered drills make the task much faster than having to find an extension cord, an outlet, unroll the extension, drill the hole and reverse the process.
I had to watch a second time, but I think with my parents to help, I can definitely do this mostly myself although the layout of the rooms are a bit troublesome
My wifi isn’t working and my apartment supplies it thought it was router and they said it was up and working but it’s not I think it’s out jack how do I fix if
Best way is to run a cat6 in the attic and drop one line where your router is and then drop the other line into the desired room. When is say drop im mean fish the wire down inside the wall. Its a clean look but you could just drop the wire through the ceiling and run the wire down the outside of the wall. Just make sure the cat6 is white so it blends into the wall color. Hope this helps. Keep me posted.
im planning to get xfinity wifi. we dont have coax slot on our apartment. but we do have that phoneline/cat 6 slot on the wall. will the wifi modem work?
@@UltimateTechHub actually it the essential low cost wifi from xfinity. saw videos but they used coax line. now im thinking why apartment management need 75usd deposit i might need to pay that before they install coax line here
@@당신은더미입니다 That sounds correct. If you can pick the installation area make sure its in the room where you want your wireless router. Keep me posted and good luck.
i gotta say, those sounds you play in the background are annoying as hell. those kind of sounds should be used as emphasis for something important. but you use them twice per sentence you speak. otherwise good video
Seeming as my router is in the garage and my pc is in the office, could I connect my router to the wall socket through the wall, then my pc direct into the wall ? Same thing right ?
Hey, I have a couple questions so here's a liitle bit of info. My house already has CAT6 connection outlets already installed on 2 floors. Can I just plug it into my computer and it'll do its thing or do I need to do other steps. Also, where do I hook my router to make all the CAT6 connectors work? Will this also effect the wifi speed aswell?
So you got 2 connections. One connection from the router to the wall plate jack and the other from the wall plate jack to the device. Does this slow down speeds? Wondering why one wouldn't just drill large enough hole in a blank wall plate and run the ethernet from the router straight to the device eliminating the connection at the wall plate jack. Overall my question is will the way you did it slow down speed?
The reason I did it this way was for the clean look. Yes running a wire through a wall through a faceplate with a hole would work. But it doesn't look for nice. As fat as the speeds it doesn't slow upload or download speeds. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!
@@UltimateTechHub Could you plug an ethernet cable from your new socket into another switch in that room giving you more ports & if you can does that affect speed or bandwidth?
Good video! Some advice - keep the twist going into the wall jack. Slightly untwist the cable pair where it needs to be separated & push it down with your fingers, before punching it down. The closer the twist of the 4x pairs is to the metal termination point, the better & more professional the work will be. A good cable certifier may not pass your current runs. The twist provides some basic shielding from external interference.
Why not send the wire where the coax outlet is and convert the coax outlet into a coax and Ethernet combo outlet? This is what I have done. Fewer outlets on the wall. Nice Video
Can you use this procedure to put wall Jack's on both sides of the wall. I have no cables coming out of the wall so I need to plug an ethernet cable on both sides. One to the network modem and one to my wife's work computer in the bedroom
Absolutely, I will make a video on that insallation next month. Here is an update video where I added an additional cat6 jack and the low voltage gang bracket. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/4CUyU_v2qS0/w-d-xo.html
Does anyone know if its a big job for a local cable guy to run a cat 6 cable from a downstairs living room router to the bedroom directly above? It will cost me £95 apparently to run it through the wall at front of house, up the wall and back into my room upstairs. I’m currently waiting for permission to do this cos we rent from housing association, but iv waited nearly 3 weeks :( if i just did it would they notice? Should it be quite clean? Apparently they said its a fairly small job and not too noisy.
Hey, great video. I was wondering if you could help me. I have poor Wifi signal upstairs in my house as the main internet point is downstairs. I would like an ethernet connection in a room upstairs to connect my PC to. Is it possible to do this with only a router? By which I main an ethernet cable connected to my router, this cable is fed up through the walls and into a Cat6 jack/wallplate, and connect my PC to my new socket? Thank you!
Can I connect two wall jack together with ethernet cable? Like if i have my modem in room A, i can connect a cable to wall jack in A and get the internet to room B?
You can do that but you will only get max 100Mbps for each wall jack. The better way to do this to attach the ethernet cable to a switch ( 5 or 8 ports ) and you will have plenty of connections at 1Gbps. These switches are about 20 bucks! I have links in my video descriptions.
Im about to install this but i just wanna know what the maximum speed is since we have gigabit Ethernet in our house and I dont want to lack it. Edit: Just searched it up and it supports 10gbps. Will install later
My brother has an Ethernet cord in his old room which is right next to my current room. My plan is to put a hole in my wall to just get it over to my room and computer so I can actually play games with my friends. This is a little different than my plan but it’s still a great help.
No worries I installed the I gang low voltage Brackett about 3 weeks after I uploaded the video and it's level with the outlet too. I also added a 2nd data port too. Video is coming in about 2 weeks. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
What nonsense is this. You didn't even removed the rubber part of the lan cable. The copper part is not even out, how is your internet even working without touching that lan port.
FYI- You Do Not remove the rubber cover from the colored wires. I've been doing this for over 10 years and went to school for this and this is exactly how it is done. My entire house is wired this way and I get 930Mbps up and down. If you can find a video on TH-cam that shows someone removing the cover from the copper wires please send it. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well. 😉
I could definitely do that but I wanted to show this particular networking installation technique. And once the wallpate is on it looks good and covers the small drywall hole. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
This is all some ridiculous stuff made for massive runs in LARGE buildings, like hotels, or something with offices, etc. This is a commercial thing. You lose speed when you run cable distances that simply DO NOT HAPPEN in a residential house for the most part. Unless you live in a 3000+ sqft house, which let's face it, most of us don't, and are routing it to the other side of the house, then it really won't matter. I have installed Cat6 through 150ft and I still got 97% of speed. The average length of running a cable through the attic all the way to the other side of the house is about 50ft of cable. You'll get almost zero speed drop. Don't buy into this commercial bs where you lose speed, because it is just that, commercial and doesn't have an impact on our speed in residential, low length run lines.
Cable was incorrectly installed into the back of the wire cover on your keystone. The circular notch is for the cable leading in to the back, not just hanging out of the bottom. Plus, since it isn't at the same wall height as other outlets, looks like an amateur install.

Google was telling me this was gonna be extremely hard this was VERY SIMPLE to understand 👍👍 now I'm gonna see where the closest ethernet port is to this room in my house lol
Awesome, glad to help. This is another video I posted 2 months ago that shows the attic space and the Network Panel. th-cam.com/video/qcET-OgrCCY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching.
Only in America 😂😂
Look at this thin wall...
Oh yeah!! We love our thin hollow walls! No concrete or bricks!! Lol!
Thank you for watching!
If you’re going to leave the other end as just a hole in the wall then why not just put a hole in the wall and run the cable right through it? Or why not install a cat 6 jack on both sides?
I did that about a month later. Just didn't make a video about it. I actually have 3 Cat6 lines on the other side of the wall, 1 going in and 2 going out. I will make a video on that install. I also made a video on the low voltage gang wallplate install and added a second cat6 port to the room. Its on my front page of my channel. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
is there a way for me to do this if my room is far away from the router?
Here is a video where I show how to do that. th-cam.com/video/qcET-OgrCCY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching.
Don't have the tools, bought a 100ft ethernet cable instead
That will work too. You could buy the tools and then use them and then take them back. I've done that before.
Im building a house and i want to have internet cable in all rooms, and connect the cable with the router, will i have internet connection in all rooms
Yes, if you are building a new house then run all cat6a cables to each room. I would go ahead and run 2 to each room for future expansion or if one cable fails. Even run some cat6a to your kitchen and your back patio. If you plan on installing PoE security cameras then run cat6 to each corner of your house where you will install the cameras. The other ends of these cat6 cables will all go to one location called the network panel. This will have your modem, router and switch. I have 50 plus videos on all of these subjects with installation examples so make sure to check them out. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well.
@@UltimateTechHub thanks so much appreciate it❤️
from one room to another, through a wall. i will do it free with my stuff, my cable, my keystones, my wallplates.
Question here. @00:40 What is the wall trim plate in the middle called and where can I get those? I want to run four premade ethernet cables through my wall and that is the ideal solution for me. Thanks in advance!
It's a wire drop plate. Here is a video that will explain it better.
th-cam.com/video/M29rUnKi_p4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching.
@@UltimateTechHub Thanks for your speedy reply. I found some of those on Amazon. I am merely running four ethernet cables from my "office" where my network equipment is located to my living room which is next to my "office". I needed to keep it simple and cheap.
@@williamjones4483 Cheap and simple is what I do!! Lol!
Why did you bother with Cat 6 when we have cat 8?
I don't have any cat8 available in my area so cat6 works just fine. I have cat6a which can handle 10gig which is plenty of speed for now and into the future. Thank you for the great comment and for watching.
Have a try now with a 45cm brick wall :)
Just need a 50cm masonry drill bit :-)
Is it worth to buy and use cat7 Ethernet cable to connect to my wall cat6 ?
Probably not, unless you are doing some seriously large file transfers between computers. Cat7 wont help with most internet speeds unless you have 1gig fiber or 2gig fiber. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.
@@UltimateTechHub Thanks I went ahead to buy Cat8 as the price difference is not too huge; shall reupdate with the speed difference.
Thank you for your reply.
My dad's a journeyman certified electrician. I might have him do this for my room up stairs since wifi is bad plus I'm afraid of getting a tv for wifi. I didn't know it was this CHEAP to install Ethernet.
Yep its not that expensive and it's fairly easy. Here is a video on how to install the low voltage gang box and adding a second data port.

Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!
You are underestimating the cable cost and cable-pulling scope of this installation. What is shared here is just a very simple port installation. Your dad will know the pain of it. Talk to him instead, might get a better picture from a professional.
2:43 - My 14 foot bit was a little much
Lol
Do you need to put a backplate (box) in the wall or just the plate..??
Yes here is the video.
th-cam.com/video/4CUyU_v2qS0/w-d-xo.html
@@UltimateTechHub How about instailling just the back box directilly to the wall without cutting dry wall.. I want to put a connecting in the attic.. and put it on wood..
@@dfogarty93 I've never tried that but it could work.
the distance between my internet router is Multiple rooms away so could you do a tutorial on that please
This is a video I did on running cat6 from a network closet to another room through the attic using a wire drop and wall fishing.
th-cam.com/video/qcET-OgrCCY/w-d-xo.html
If you have any questions ask in the comment section. Keep me posted and thank you for watching.
Will this work if I was to put wall jacks on both ends and then plug my router into the wall jack?
Absolutely and that's what ended up doing a few months later. I will probably make a video about that. Thanks for watching!
Just drill the holes for the anchor the size that the anchors call for.
Or you just get the screwdriver of size and jam that in the drywall. Then use the back of the screwdriver the hit the anchor in flush
Dab Man
That works too. I have some some of sewing tool that looks like a short, tapering ice pick.About 7-8cm long and 7-8mm in width.
But I prefer to know the proper size. Battery powered drills make the task much faster than having to find an extension cord, an outlet, unroll the extension, drill the hole and reverse the process.
Thank im going to tell my dad about this bc I want a ithernet cable but its only 1 in the living room thank you
I will be using wall plates with integrated jacks, should make things a bit easier
Yes that will make it just a plug-n-play! Thanks for watching! 😃
@@UltimateTechHub I'll give an update to this comment if everything goes to plan.
@@UltimateTechHubI just finished the job yesterday, I ran up the cable through 4 walls and under my house into my living room.
@@Razor-gx2dq Sounds like fun. Hope it went well. Keep me posted.
I had to watch a second time, but I think with my parents to help, I can definitely do this mostly myself although the layout of the rooms are a bit troublesome
Thank you for watching and I have many other videos covering this type of installation.
My wifi isn’t working and my apartment supplies it thought it was router and they said it was up and working but it’s not I think it’s out jack how do I fix if
The router isn’t on the other side of my room though it’s on the other side of the house. So how??
Best way is to run a cat6 in the attic and drop one line where your router is and then drop the other line into the desired room. When is say drop im mean fish the wire down inside the wall. Its a clean look but you could just drop the wire through the ceiling and run the wire down the outside of the wall. Just make sure the cat6 is white so it blends into the wall color. Hope this helps. Keep me posted.
That's all fine and dandy when it's 2 rooms next to each other. But what about wiring it through your entire house to other rooms
im planning to get xfinity wifi. we dont have coax slot on our apartment. but we do have that phoneline/cat 6 slot on the wall. will the wifi modem work?
Is xfinity cable?
@@UltimateTechHub for xfinity wifi
@@당신은더미입니다 I think xfinity is wifi hot spots right? So it's completely wireless.
@@UltimateTechHub actually it the essential low cost wifi from xfinity. saw videos but they used coax line. now im thinking why apartment management need 75usd deposit i might need to pay that before they install coax line here
@@당신은더미입니다 That sounds correct. If you can pick the installation area make sure its in the room where you want your wireless router. Keep me posted and good luck.
How would you be doing this if walls are not adjacent? I want ethernet port in all rooms
Watch this video it has all the steps! th-cam.com/video/qcET-OgrCCY/w-d-xo.html
Could’ve also used a retro box
And get the height from the outlet beside it to make sure it’s at standard height
Yep definitely but I just wanted to keep it simple and under 20 dollars. Thanks for watching.
@@UltimateTechHub A low voltage Mud-ring is like $3.
i gotta say, those sounds you play in the background are annoying as hell. those kind of sounds should be used as emphasis for something important. but you use them twice per sentence you speak.
otherwise good video
A very informative video. One criticism, those transition sounds are jarring. Don't use any.
Seeming as my router is in the garage and my pc is in the office, could I connect my router to the wall socket through the wall, then my pc direct into the wall ? Same thing right ?
Hey, I have a couple questions so here's a liitle bit of info. My house already has CAT6 connection outlets already installed on 2 floors. Can I just plug it into my computer and it'll do its thing or do I need to do other steps. Also, where do I hook my router to make all the CAT6 connectors work? Will this also effect the wifi speed aswell?
Ip address alert🚨🚨🚨
Lol! My IP address has changed dozens of times! Thanks for noticing! 😂
Would running the cat6 from one point to the other and connecting it at a back plate adapter work instead of making a cut?
How do I do this from the second floor to the first floor?
Thank I need to know also
Thank you. I just watch your video to put ethernet from my office to the living room to hard wire a roku.🦇
Awesome, Glad my video helped. Thank you for watching!
Why not just leave it? There’s wall jack adapters just for that.
Why not just install an entire remodel box. That way the plate will attach without you having a install anchors
Great video. But the sound effects reminded me of 12 year old me first time creating a powerpoint presentation.
So you got 2 connections. One connection from the router to the wall plate jack and the other from the wall plate jack to the device. Does this slow down speeds? Wondering why one wouldn't just drill large enough hole in a blank wall plate and run the ethernet from the router straight to the device eliminating the connection at the wall plate jack. Overall my question is will the way you did it slow down speed?
The reason I did it this way was for the clean look. Yes running a wire through a wall through a faceplate with a hole would work. But it doesn't look for nice. As fat as the speeds it doesn't slow upload or download speeds. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!
@@UltimateTechHub Could you plug an ethernet cable from your new socket into another switch in that room giving you more ports & if you can does that affect speed or bandwidth?
@@bepto4877 Yes.
Good video! Some advice - keep the twist going into the wall jack. Slightly untwist the cable pair where it needs to be separated & push it down with your fingers, before punching it down. The closer the twist of the 4x pairs is to the metal termination point, the better & more professional the work will be. A good cable certifier may not pass your current runs. The twist provides some basic shielding from external interference.
They make a wall plate that just has a hole with brush material, you wouldn’t need to terminate
Great video, thanks so much.
Your welcome and thanks for watching!!
This was a great video for installing Ethernet cable! I was wondering how to do it and you made it very simple for me! Thanks!
Your welcome and glad it helped you out!! Thanks for watching and for commenting!!
Why not send the wire where the coax outlet is and convert the coax outlet into a coax and Ethernet combo outlet? This is what I have done. Fewer outlets on the wall.
Nice Video
I could have done that but I wanted to show this technique if you don't have a coax outlet in either room. Thank you for watching.
$5 For a fucking keystone? This fella got scammed.
Will this work with a corded drill?
Yes it will.
Whats with all these special sound effects? theyre pretty distracting.
Can you use this procedure to put wall Jack's on both sides of the wall. I have no cables coming out of the wall so I need to plug an ethernet cable on both sides. One to the network modem and one to my wife's work computer in the bedroom
Absolutely, I will make a video on that insallation next month. Here is an update video where I added an additional cat6 jack and the low voltage gang bracket. Thanks for watching!
th-cam.com/video/4CUyU_v2qS0/w-d-xo.html
Transition sound effects improved this video 10x
I would have used a hole saw instead of a drywall saw!
Does anyone know if its a big job for a local cable guy to run a cat 6 cable from a downstairs living room router to the bedroom directly above? It will cost me £95 apparently to run it through the wall at front of house, up the wall and back into my room upstairs. I’m currently waiting for permission to do this cos we rent from housing association, but iv waited nearly 3 weeks :( if i just did it would they notice? Should it be quite clean? Apparently they said its a fairly small job and not too noisy.
It's a pretty easy job to run the Cat6 cable and it's not messy either. Good luck.
Bro it’s not levelled with the other wallplate and I can’t unsee it.
i have in my house a mobile outlet but i want to make it ethernet can it happen
What if I don’t got a wall jack at all I’m trying to install att wofi
Hey, great video. I was wondering if you could help me. I have poor Wifi signal upstairs in my house as the main internet point is downstairs. I would like an ethernet connection in a room upstairs to connect my PC to.
Is it possible to do this with only a router? By which I main an ethernet cable connected to my router, this cable is fed up through the walls and into a Cat6 jack/wallplate, and connect my PC to my new socket? Thank you!
Yes absolutely! You can also add a switch to that room for more ports. Good luck and keep me posted! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!
Can I connect two wall jack together with ethernet cable? Like if i have my modem in room A, i can connect a cable to wall jack in A and get the internet to room B?
You can do that but you will only get max 100Mbps for each wall jack. The better way to do this to attach the ethernet cable to a switch ( 5 or 8 ports ) and you will have plenty of connections at 1Gbps. These switches are about 20 bucks! I have links in my video descriptions.
Im about to install this but i just wanna know what the maximum speed is since we have gigabit Ethernet in our house and I dont want to lack it. Edit: Just searched it up and it supports 10gbps. Will install later
My speeds are around 740 mbps and I have 1 gig fiber. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
My brother has an Ethernet cord in his old room which is right next to my current room. My plan is to put a hole in my wall to just get it over to my room and computer so I can actually play games with my friends. This is a little different than my plan but it’s still a great help.
Sounds like a good plan. It's really not the difficult to do. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it.
A nail set is a great tool to install wall anchors with no drilling required and even makes a tapered hole in the drywall.
Great advice! Here is an Update I did on this installation.
th-cam.com/video/4CUyU_v2qS0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
Not trying to be a snob here, but I would recommend using a low-voltage box and level.
No worries I installed the I gang low voltage Brackett about 3 weeks after I uploaded the video and it's level with the outlet too. I also added a 2nd data port too. Video is coming in about 2 weeks. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
What nonsense is this. You didn't even removed the rubber part of the lan cable. The copper part is not even out, how is your internet even working without touching that lan port.
FYI- You Do Not remove the rubber cover from the colored wires. I've been doing this for over 10 years and went to school for this and this is exactly how it is done. My entire house is wired this way and I get 930Mbps up and down. If you can find a video on TH-cam that shows someone removing the cover from the copper wires please send it. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well. 😉
dude, slow down!!!
Play at half speed. Lol! Thanks for watching.
@@UltimateTechHub I did, then I cant hear clearly your instructions. Make a normal speed video and let the views decide with the speed controls.
Why not use a low voltage pass thru instead of gouging drywall?
I could definitely do that but I wanted to show this particular networking installation technique. And once the wallpate is on it looks good and covers the small drywall hole. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Aren't you gouging much more drywall installing a low voltage mounting bracket?
@@Trini-Viking as long as you are within 300ft of cable length you won't be losing any speed
This is all some ridiculous stuff made for massive runs in LARGE buildings, like hotels, or something with offices, etc. This is a commercial thing. You lose speed when you run cable distances that simply DO NOT HAPPEN in a residential house for the most part. Unless you live in a 3000+ sqft house, which let's face it, most of us don't, and are routing it to the other side of the house, then it really won't matter. I have installed Cat6 through 150ft and I still got 97% of speed. The average length of running a cable through the attic all the way to the other side of the house is about 50ft of cable. You'll get almost zero speed drop. Don't buy into this commercial bs where you lose speed, because it is just that, commercial and doesn't have an impact on our speed in residential, low length run lines.
@@jonburhan5478 even if the house is that big, it depends on the location of the low voltage termination point.
Cable was incorrectly installed into the back of the wire cover on your keystone. The circular notch is for the cable leading in to the back, not just hanging out of the bottom. Plus, since it isn't at the same wall height as other outlets, looks like an amateur install.
I added the low voltage gang wall bracket and straightened it up as well. Here's the video.

Not having it the same height as the other outlets would be detrimental to my OCD but great job.
I added a low voltage gang bracket and leveled the outlet a few weeks after the video posted. Here is the video update.

you NEED solid core cble, not stranded.
Use Network Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax called MoCA. It's AWESOME!!!
They are great if that's your only option, little spendy especially compared to Ethernet cable
*laughs in European walls* Dang.
Funny to see how soft walls are. Here in my area most walls are made out of concrete or other similarly strong material.
Are from the UK? I've heard walls in the UK are made of concrete bricks.
