How to Test Your Ethernet Cable Connections

Having a home that is wired with ethernet cables will not only give you faster internet speeds and faster file transfers. Your network hub can also be used for your home security cameras, VOIP calls, NAS drives and more.

In this video, I show you two devices that will help you validate ethernet connections and determine where unused ethernet cables go.

It's not the most exciting topic in the world, but I have no doubt it will help those of you who are trying to figure out what's going on with your home network.

You can see my video about the status of my home network when I came into my new house at youtube.com/watch?v=bqq2GjRh0WE
