ps: I had a second media converter for sale cheaply (accidentally ordered two)
You bought too expensively. I only paid 18 euros on Ebay for the Ethernet SFP.

Solution 2 is the absolute most sensible one.
Ideally, it is best to separate routing and WiFi. Since the AIO Combos (All in One Routers) are very powerful, it makes sense to distribute the tasks.
If the apartment is larger than 120m2 or is spread over 2 floors, there is no way around it.
Therefore install an IB 1 in the closet. Be sure to check whether the distribution connections are set to 100Mb or 1000Mb. Otherwise everything is a waste anyway. In the worst case, the customer loses half of his ports in the closet (I recently converted this for a customer: 500Mb subscription but only 100Mb network at home in a 4-year-old apartment on the “Gold Coast”! Swisscom technicians and Dataquest supporters don’t have it on site noticed!!!).
If IB1 cannot be installed then the media converter is the only sensible solution. Extending glass is not exactly cheap and can only be done under difficult circumstances in a rented apartment.
Basically, it’s not a “stupid” idea to banish the router into the closet, but it should be implemented ergonomically and sensibly from the ground up.
As an electrical fitter, I’ve seen a lot of good things, but a lot of things are messed up in the interests of the company carrying out the work, which ultimately harms the customer.

How did you remodel that?
Thomas
He had run a cable to each socket. However, two R&M Freenet LAN ports per cable were connected in the closet and socket.
I have now reconnected the cable to just one LAN socket so it has GigaLan. Unfortunately “the electrical company” didn’t even use shielded cables, but they are fireproof:smileylol:
There are various ways to determine this.
If you received Y cables for patching in the distribution cabinet (cable with 3 ends), then the cables were connected in split form.
or:
Connect the laptop to the end of a cable patched in the closet and look in the LAN settings at what speed the link is running. (if the laptop has a GBit LAN interface)
or the safest:
Unscrew the sockets and check whether 4 or 8 wires are connected to the PIN per RJ45 socket. GB Speed requires 8 wires.
I have such Y-patch cables installed in my distribution cabinet. (6 sockets)
For the multimedia connections in the rooms with 1x LAN and 1x telephony socket…
Here too I can’t get an internet connection to work with the new IB2 in the living room and the TP-Link media converter MC220L in the distribution cabinet (LWL optical) 😞
Could it be due to these 4-wire patch connections?

Yes, that’s split:

The converter needs LAN side 1000 Base-T, i.e. an 8-wire full circuit and nothing else works.
This is the split system from Cidatech. I have encountered this again and again with customers.
It is possible because only 4 PINs are connected and the link with the MC220L is not working.
Ev. A specialist shop near you can convert this (crap) to a gigabit network.
There has been a lot of discussion here in the forum about these stupid split systems, just to save a few francs.
The customer thinks he has received new, modern cabling. New but not modern.
The GigaBit standard was introduced in 1999.
