I’ve moved in to a new house and saw a new port on the wall my previous place didn’t have. I’m hoping it’s Ethernet so I can hook up my Apple TV to it.

It’s an FTTP connection and there’s a box on the wall in the garage with 4 UNI-D ports that look similar to the 4 ports in the 2 lounge rooms, kitchen and main bedroom. The instructions say to plug the box on the wall into the ports on the wall but doesn’t say why?

My landlord has no idea so how can I tell?

    The box in the garage is the NBN node. You will need to arrange for an internet connection with a provider if not yet done. It sounds like you then have Ethernet ports around the house so an Ethernet cable would come out of that node and into a port that should be near it

    phone lines do not fit into an ethernet port on the pc

    the 4 ports is a router connected by a single phone line to the box on the wall

    from google

    What is a Uni-D port?

    The two voice (UNI-V) ports are to connect telephones, using RJ-11 cables. The four data (UNI-D) ports are to connect data and in-band video services, using Ethernet RJ-45 cables. Port for the power cable from your Power Supply. DO NOT DISCONNECT this cable unless instructed to do so by your service provider.
