What are additional networking points (N Points)?

If you have selected a 4 Point Pack, 5 Point Pack, or additional data points as part of your installation, you may have extra networking outlets installed in various rooms throughout your home.

These are referred to as N Points.

Each N Point is cabled from the selected room back to your modem location and is typically labelled:

• N1, or

• N-Source

How Do I Activate an N Point?

To make an N Point active:

1. Locate the wall plate at your modem location labelled N-Source or N1.

2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect:

   • One end into the N-Source / N1 wall port

   • The other end into one of the LAN ports on the back of your modem/router

Most standard modems/routers have 4 LAN ports available.

Once connected, the corresponding data outlet in the room will have an active internet connection.

What If I Have More Than 4 N Points?

If you have more than 4 networking points and your modem only has 4 LAN ports, you will need to install an Ethernet switch to expand the number of available network connections.

An Ethernet switch connects to one LAN port on your modem and provides multiple additional ports for your N Points.

Activating Multiple Points

If you have multiple N Points, simply repeat the same process for each one to provide internet access throughout your home.
