Took about an hour, as I did a methodical wire by wire swappage. I wanted to ensure that ever thing on the home network was working ok.

My Rig
Xbox360

MediaVault
Jacks ‘puter
Printer
Downstairs Rear of house
Downstairs Front of house
Old file Server

Everything is online and seems to be working.. back to the project.

This was all possible via
