Hi all,

I have some questions about setting up UNIFI in my new Condo soon.

I will be moving to my condo soon BUT the problem here is that the phoneline port is NOT at the place where I intend to put my TV there.

My questions:

1. In this case, I will need to lay a cable to extend from the original phone line port to the TV area. Any special cable or termination need to be care of? Not sure my contractor know how to extend or not. They may say OK, no problem to lay an extention cable BUT not sure it will be 100% workable or not. If later the Unifi technician came to setup and found out the extention cable not suitable as according to their setup, then it will be troublesome again to lay another cable after the renovation. Any advice or this?

2. I understand that the telephone MUST connect to the Unifi router. Can I connect another telephone to any other additional router or whatever device in another room?

3. Is it good to use HomePlug to extend the Internet connection to another room?

Looking forward to all your replies.

Thanks.

1. For condo, vdsl2, the phone line is just normal phone line with RJ11 plug. I think contractor/electrician knows them well,  ppl normally got extend/conceal that during renovation. Just ensure the cable quality is ok. Don't use low quality. If concealed, hard to change if broken.
2. From the VDSL modem(where the phone connects to), you can just use normal splitter. But also take note of the quality. The 2nd port on the modem doesn't connect to the same line. It's there for a possibility of 2nd number. I think it's easiest for you to use DECT to connect all the phones. Wireless!
3. Wa your condo so big??? use wifi laaa  laugh.gif Homeplug in condo, should be possible but I'm not so sure. I never use a homeplug.

Thank you for your reply.

The reason I am thinking to use Homeplug is to connect those OLD computers that do not have wifi device. Also thinking to use homeplug to connect network cable directly to the laptop and computer so that they can have better direct speed compare with using wireless speed which maybe a bit blocked from the wall in other rooms.

Also, can Homeplug able to use when connect to extension powerpoint plug?

Or you can do wireless bridge and connect with LAN cable. I think is possible.
What about the 'pass through' (If I remember the name correctly) type?

Wireless bridge meaning to connect a wireless router to connect to another wireless router using wireless signal, right?

Must it be using the SAME BRAND, SAME MODEL, SAME TYPE of wireless router to have this wireless bridge?

What is this "pass trough"? OK, will google it later.

Thanks everyone.
