Hi all,

Just moved into a new place and signed up with Telus and a bit of noob when it comes to wired networks. Essentially this is what I want to do:

Use multiple network sockets in the house (there is one in each room) to connect to devices (each, Telus PVR in the lounge, desktop computer in office etc).

I assume it would be as simple as plugging the main Telus modem into the network socket in a dedicated room but that doesn't seem to work (orange light). I have looked at the splitter in the connection box but not sure what to do there so simple questions:

1. I assume I would need a physical modem for each network socket?
2. What would be the reason the modem currently only seems to work from one wired socket in the main room.

I'm sure there will be questions and happy to answer them and appreciate any responses in advance.

Regards,

VGJFelix
