The previous owners of my house ran two Ethernet cables from the fiber modem to a point near the center of the house, where they enter the wall... and apparently never exit it. - eviltoast

I’m considering clipping the cable where it enters the wall, terminating it, and buying a PoE adapter so that I can see if a single wifi router mounted in that spot will cover the whole house.

Is this a terrible idea? What should I look out for?

    I think it’s more likely that one cable was for internet and one was for the phone, since that’s the manufacturer labeling on the fiber access point.

    But yeah, I’ll probably put a cable tester on the Christmas list.
