Find assistance for Ethernet socket outlets.
Your jacks should end at a point, probably in a small box on the wall with a punch-down panel. You’ll need to link them so the router port connects to your room port or set everything up with a switch.
In an apartment or newer homes, those Ethernet drops are sent to a patch panel in your communications area. It would resemble this setup. You'd connect the router cable to the patch panel's Ethernet ports to activate the various drops throughout your home.
I need to look into similar options, perhaps using other main lines. Depending on that, it might not be feasible since my apartment is on the second floor and the kitchen/lounge is also upstairs, where the router is located. If a box connector is downstairs, it could be inconvenient to run an Ethernet cable up and then connect from the kitchen to my room. Thanks for your quick responses!
there are items in my room with blue stickers on top and in other areas, plus a closet with an outlet that has three ports, which seems unusual to be phone lines.
Consider Ethernet as the solution. Locate the shared area for devices, then either connect cables between the desired pairs or set up a switch to manage them all.
I was really trying to find an alternative solution so I wouldn't need to run a cable like that. That's why I checked the wall socket outlets, but honestly it looks like I might still have to use them if I want a wired connection. I also had a network card, but it seems to be acting up lately, which is why I was exploring this option.
