Most apartments have a distribution box near the electrical cabinet for sharing the internet connection from the housing company. The distribution box has one data outlet for the connection, as well as several outlets for sharing the connection to a specific room. The outlets are often numbered to match the outlets in the rooms.
In buildings with general cabling, the connection is available on the Ethernet network socket in the apartment’s distribution centre (studios might have only one network socket, in which case there is no distribution centre). You do not need a terminal device in a building with general cabling. The network is connected from the network outlet in the apartment’s distribution centre (usually near the electrical cabinet) to the RJ45 network socket of the desired room. If you want to share the connection to several rooms, use a separate router as the terminal device.
- Connect the network cable from the outlet (A) to the router’s WAN port (B). Turn on the router. When the router’s internet light is lit, the connection is ready to use.
- You can connect devices to the router’s wireless network (FI).
- You can also add the outlets of a specific room to the network by using the router’s LAN/Ethernet ports (C). Connect the network cable from the router’s LAN port to the desired room’s port (D) in the distribution box.
- If the connection is not functioning after the mentioned steps, reset the modem to default settings by pressing down the reset button on the back panel or the bottom of the device with a sharp object (such as a paper clip or pin) for 10 seconds with the device turned on, and then release the reset button.
The connection is usually available through an outlet named ATK, DATA, NOUSU or JAKAMO. The naming varies, and sometimes the connection outlet only reads A or B. The easiest way to find the right port is to connect your computer to the outlet with a network cable to test the internet connection.
You can transfer the connection from the distribution box to a specific room as follows:

This way, you can use the modem from the wall outlet of the room you want and make your wireless network better. You can also read our excellent WLAN network information package, click here (FI).
We recommend using a mesh router (FI) for a fibre connection, which shares the connection with your entire apartment. Check the available devices at our online shop (FI). You can also order a technician (FI) to optimise your home’s connection as a turnkey service.
