Hello, I just purchased my first house and it has a cabinet of spaghetti in the office and I don’t know what it’s for or how to use it. But it does look expensive so if I can make it useful to me then I’d like to!

I have a setup similar to this but in Australia the internet comes into the house via HFC (coax). Given that there are Coax outlets in every room, am I right in thinking that I plug in the router in a given room, and then all ethernet points will work?

    What you're looking for is a MoCA network. It won't be cheap, but it is possible. You'll need an adapter in every room you want wired internet, and high quality splitters. Setting up a Powerline network might be cheaper. But quality of that will be dependent on the quality of your electrical system.
