Thanks to Bernard for suggesting TechTV [1]https://techtvcabling.com.au
who came and did our cabling, very efficiently. Very good to get it
done before Christmas! We now have fibre..fantastic!!

Yes Neil and Rosemary, I believe you're correct there Neil.
Depending
how handy you are, you could buy yourself a long length of Cat 6
cable
to run from your NBN box to a wall point (new or old) for a
dedicated
connection between router and NBN box. I did this for my sons
room at
the back of my house - 30m Cat 6 for direct connection to an
Apple
Airport Express for local Wifi signal strength in his room.
If not so handy, then use one of these guys. I did a Google
search
"domestic internet cabling perth" which gave lots of hits. Here's
one.

Re: [WAMUG] NBN fibre questions
Hi Rosemary,
I'm no expert here but my reasoning is:
The fact that you get the speed you are expecting when the
modem is
plugged direct to the NBN box would suggest that the problem is
not
with your modem but with the cabling/network between the NBN
box and
the wall socket.
You say that there is cabling from the garage to "other places"
in
the house – from your description, these are phone outlets
rather
than ethernet outlets and you then connect from this wall
socket to
the DSL port on the modem?
More than one phone outlet means that there would be at least
one
splitter somewhere to split the signal to the various phone
outlets.
The splitter(s) could be in the garage or in the ceiling and
could
well be the problem – you really need the modem connection to
the
NBN box to be as direct as possible.
I suspect the simplest/easiest solution is to have the router
plugged directly into the NBN box in the garage and then setup
the
wireless network of the router so everything connects to that –
you
would need to check that you get good wireless coverage from
the
garage to wherever you need it in the house (depending on the
house
size/construction you might need a wireless extender or a modem
with
better wireless performance.
If you need to have the modem elsewhere (eg in the study) make
sure
you have a single good connection between there and the NBN box
–
how easy this is to achieve really will depend on the actual
physical configuration and accessibility of your existing
network/cabling.
Just some thoughts HTH.
Cheers
Neil

Subject: [WAMUG] NBN fibre questions
Hi all,
We have just upgraded to NBN Fibre to the Premises. The
speed
we get
with the modem attached straight to the NBN box is about
10
times
faster than when it is connected to the wall socket in
the
study. Our
house is 61/2 years old and was cabled from the garage
to
other places
in the house when we bought it. The westnet/ iiNet guy
said
the cabling
might be too old to carry fibre speeds.
The present wall socket in the study just looks like a
phone
socket
but it does carry the signal to the modem albeit slowly.
The
distance
is not great …it goes up from the NBN box in the garage
in
conduit to
the ceiling, presumably in the ceiling and down the wall
in
the study
next door.
What sort of professional would be able to re-cable so
the
speed was
maintained to the study?
Would a more uptodate modem also help maintain better
speeds?
The
present one is an iiNet black TG model.
Cheers
