What are the wall plugs on the left? Chat gpt said tv, radio and internet? That true? And if so should I hook my router up to the left one, or TAE socket on the right?

  1. You have to hook the router up with whatever internet access you ordered and a technician set up.

    But yes, left is cable connections, right is a classic phone connector.

  2. Depends on what’s connected on the other side. Might be antenna for TV, maybe Internet.

  3. Left side is tv antenna, radio, satellite, might also be used for internet via coax cable. Ask your landlord whats available. Antenna might not be connected, satellite dish might not be connected, you might need some special receiver to connect. Most likely only the upper coax is connected to satellite dish to receive dvb-s. Lower ones might be connected to some dvb-t/dab-t antenna.

    For internet/telephon use right side TAE to connect to (copper) land line. Again, ask your landlord for details.

    Edit: typo

  4. Yup, it’s your Kabel outlet. Usually, the top one is the Internet, the left one is TV and the right one is Radio.

    Mind you, the internet only applies if you get your Internet through Kabel. I believe DSL or Fiber would use different sockets.

  5. The right side is for telephone and DSL Internet.

    The left side top is for cable Internet. The left side bottom right is for television, likely Dvb-c from the cable provider.
