Can you help with how to connect the ethernet cables , the Telus Modem is on the middle floor , the Nokia box is in the basement , i have 6 ethernet cables to connect that are located next to the Nokia box, Can i add a router connected to the nokia in the basement with all not connections , and have the telus modem on the middle floor as the wifi router.
