The funny thing is I was just looking at the phone jack in my room like "I got to cover this mess already." 10 mins later your video pops up 🤣👍
Clearly it was meant to be!
That wire is CAT-5e probably. You could make it functional by cutting it at the other terminating end and running it to a switch/router. You can run that device to your modem and voi la, a wired home network. This takes longer than 5 minutes, but it is easy enough to do with some planning. Cheers!
@@brettito i’m going to take your word for it, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
Great video Mark!
I used my old coaxial cable as a jetline to pull through my Ethernet cable. Modern problems require modern remedies.
It's interesting that they used cat 5 to run the phone lines. If they run to a convenient spot you could switch it over to network ports in this case. However, I suspect that they run to an exterior phone box.
Yes. My house had a bunch of CAT5 running to hard to get to places and I put Ubiquiti wall WiFi access points on several of them. Works great.
Don't care about the crack but the screws not being lined up would drive me nuts. You do you though!
You mean the direction of the slots? 😁

Might want to get a USB power supply for 1 of those blank openings.
That's a good idea, as well!
Unforunately, on that 4 gang , the original installer didn't seperate the low voltage from the light switch and receptacle...lol
Exactly. You're supposed to install a divider between the low voltage side and the power side.
@@ianbelletti6241 I’m no electrician, but I thought the same thing. I’ve seen combination boxes that seem to accommodate that situation.
this video was ok - but i prefer cat videos
Most of that will be on the other channel .
