The router is in the front downstairs room of the house and I want to hard wire it to the Smart TVs in the back down stairs room and back upstairs bedroom as well as installing a wired socket for connecting the laptop from the bedroom to the router as wifi is unreliable in that part of the house. (I have wifi extenders but they aren't good enough to run the upstairs smart tv as the connection speed is below 2mbps).
In a simple world I would run 3 long ethernet cables from the router to the individual devices etc but there isn't 3 spare Lan inputs on the router.
So if I connect a Cat 6 cable (I am using Cat 6 as I can get it free of charge plus the various crimp ends etc) to the 2 smart tvs and the ethernet wall socket (if that's what it is called) how do I connect them to the router if there isn't enough ports to plug the 3 cables in to?
Hope this makes sense I am not tech savvy but am good at DIY so if someone could give me some basic instruction and I will work the rest out.
Thanks
