I recently purchased a home that has cat5 RJ45 ports in every room but I am having trouble connecting it all up. I have attached some photos of my structured wiring panel. It seems that they are connected through a telephone expansion but all the ports around the house are cat5 Ethernet size and not old school phone jack size. Also, in the structured wiring panel I found a cat5 cable (labeled game room) with a plug already attached so I connected it into my router (attached pic) then went and checked the game room cat5 port and I was getting internet from it! So then pulled the panel off the wall and checked the wiring (brown wall pic) then I went around to other rooms and pulled off some of the cat5 panels and they seem exactly like the one in the game room which makes me think they are all wired for internet but I don't understand how to connect my router up to that board so that the entire house is hard wired?. Any help is appreciated and please forgive me if this is confusing or a stupid question... I am new at this
