ok just a little confused....
im going to wire up my home network...only because I hate having the wires exposed and theres a LOT of them...
I have a linksys wireless router that has the cable modem hooked up to it...that serves my laptop for internet connection
my other desktops are hooked up to the router also..so they can access the network resources and printers...
everything is in 1 room but the cabling is a nightmare....
I wanted to run some of the cables in the wall to where they need to go within the room to make it neater in there....currently there kind of just out there attached to the bottom of the walls w/ staples
but I got to thinking...maybe im thinking too much
buy cat5e cable(100ft.) and use 2 sets of these:

connected to wall plates.....one set by the wireless router and the other set by the computers
so if I understand this right....I run the cat5e cable through the wall.....wire it up to the keystone jack on both ends and then make additional cables and plug the cables from the hardware to the ports on the wall?
so it would look like this:
jacks------
l l----- router ports
l l-----
l
l
l <---cabling thru wall
l

jacks-----
l---- computers

is it that easy? lol
