Thanks. Yeah, I'd rather waste some time than buy something like that. Time to look for an 8 port switch (unless they sell 6 port ones)
I had a 6-port at one point, so yes they do. I ended up upgrading - once you have your home network it's nice to have a few extra ports. Like if you wanted to add a small security device in the patch panel in the future. Or if you find out where those extra cable runs go.
Another very basic way of finding out where the cable goes...if you have a friend to help, try shimmying the cord around and see if you hear it in the wall. Not always successful obviously, but sometimes you end up finding it with two people: one at one end, one at the other testing to see if you can feel the other person pulling.
