Directly to internets
If you're connecting directly to your HomeHub, use this approach:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Red | (empty) | Green | Blue | White |
INTERNET | (empty) | UTSP | Barclays | SWIFT |
Switch?
If you're connecting to a switch (or something else)
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Yellow | (empty) | Green | Blue | White |
NETWORK | (empty) | UTSP | Barclays | SWIFT |
From here, you should be plugged in, and the cable sphageeti should be mostly there. Tidying can come later.
