I'm planning to move the main router across the room

By altering the phone line wiring, or the ethernet wiring?

The Internet connection doesn't use a phone line.




I have VM cable so the cable needs moving but it is already clipped to the
skirting and just needs unclipping part way and coiling.

The phone line will need similar treatment.

Both come from the front of the house via the outside wall.

The Cat5E which runs down to the patch panel and Gigabit switch under the
stairs needs moving, and that goes under the floor to the centre of the
house.

There is an awkward tight spot under the floor at the top of the stairs
which makes it very fiddly to run cables from upstairs to under the stairs.

So I would rather re-use the current cable than run a new one.

Hangf on

Is this just the connection between the router and a gigabit swiotch?

If its only carrying internet/wifi it only need be 100Mbps.

So no need to connect all the pairs or be prissy about it
