Home LAN Setup: Connecting Router to 3 Room Sockets for Optimal Networking Solution

Hello!

I would like to advise you on how best to do such a LAN at home;
namely, it should look like that in 3 rooms there will be sockets, and in the hall router; now the question is how to best connect these sockets to the router?

Thank you in advance for your help, best regards!

I mean the same way namely, whether to send each cable to the socket separately from the router, or make a socket at the router and connect to it? How should it be done?

Preferably by cable
And seriously: If the router has 3 free LAN sockets (i.e. has a built-in network switch), then you connect point-to-point (3 cables from the router to the sockets).
If the router does not have a built-in switch, you must install it additionally at the router.

Of course, if you want the network to work on all sockets at the same time, you need to make sure that the router will serve three clients (e.g. three computers).

I just meant that great, as for the router itself, I will probably choose, so I will try to do as you wrote. Thanks in case of problems I will still speak.

That back to the subject; What would you recommend to let the cable go? I would add that this installation would be behind a gypsum plasterboard and is it then required to go in a corrugated pipe, or if it will be foiled even double?

If this is not a google server room and you want cheap, give 5e UTP cable (without isolation). Any better cable (FTP, STP cat. 5e, cat. 6) will be a little more expensive but will also have better parameters and will give you peace of mind when you want to run a 1GB / s network.
Give a category 6 cable if you want to run a gigabyte network. Even if your router now has 100Mbps LAN ports, it's worth giving such a cable than later changing the cabling when changing the router. Ultimately, it may also be category 5e, but rather FTP, if the length of the wires does not exceed several meters. The FTP cable (with additional shielding) has better isolation from interference, which in practice translates into better performance (higher transmission speed, because the packets do not need to be re-sent), if you send data at a speed reaching the maximum capacity of the cable.
Remember, even giving an insulated (FTP) cable, to give shielded RJ'tki too, because if you don't connect this screen anywhere, a shielded cable won't do much.

Not true - Every cable with a screen must be grounded for it has a screen - UTP 5e or 6a cables are usually used in the home. Also, for safety, let yourself have two cables in one socket, if you plan wifi think of APs if you have a large house and cables pulled up accordingly.

What exactly is not true?

So from 3/4 of what you wrote?
- cat 6 cable for 1gbit / s network. A good cable (keeping the declared parameters) of category 5 will work with a 1gbit / s network. If 1gbit does not work on it, i.e. it is not a declared category. If it loses any packages it is not a declared category.
- that shielding is, yes, but in very specific conditions that will not occur in the house / apartment
- that just a screened screen that is not properly grounded or at all will cause more damage than use

And to the author. You are buying a good brand non-shielded 5e, 6a cable and it will work.

When buying cables, check whether they are made entirely of copper. Cheap Ethernet cables have aluminum cores, copper coated - don't buy them.

Thanks all! I will do it so that I will probably buy utp or ftp 5e, as for the sockets themselves, I think that keystones and now that I do not make a mistake (correct me like something), I earn sockets in standard A and the plug to the LAN port on the router, and later the socket-computer cable in B standard? Is that how it is supposed to be?

As you were told, do not buy ftp, but your choice.
Both ends of the cable, both sockets at the end of the cable must be made in the same standard. (A or B). That's it. Sockets and cable can be A / A, B / B, A / B, B / A. It does not matter.

Polish producers have adopted - at least in most versions the B standard - you wouldn't make bigos - earn B standard everywhere - without any combinations - FTP has a screen to be grounded - and not to the radiator.

If you are already going to spend more money on the cable, instead of UTP 5e, make yourself in UTP 6a, 6a is standard to support up to 10Gb / s

If you are at the stage of building a house, let go of the cable everywhere where you are going to have something stationary, it is a good practice to double the wires because first of all you increase reliability during damage and secondly from such a socket you can lead 2 Gb ports or 4 100Mb / s ports which when combined in one TV point, console, decoder, some pleyers etc you will have as found ..

Make sockets in B, as Hermes-80 wrote, in Poland it is the most commonly used standard.

You can do all the cables in B.

If he mixed the standards as written by m.Jastrzebsk then nothing should happen but it is better now to have everything done the same.
