So I found a tutorial on how to change my phone lines into a network. They said that most new homes use cat5e cables for telephone wire and so the keystone on the cate5e cable can be changed from a telephone keystone to RJ45 keystones, for a home network. I unscrewed the telephone plates in two of my rooms to check the cable and it was labeled as cate5e. So next thing I did was walk around my home to find a telephone box. I did not have one. However, I did see the same cat5e wiring rolled up hanging out of my home.
So what I'd like to know is if all I have to do is change the keystones in my room to RJ45 keystones for a home network. Do I have to unplug any connection that might be connected to the phone company?
