@david64 That makes sense. Must have been part of an old telephone connection. Yeah, I was a bit surprised when my housemate said that there was an ethernet port in his room because when I did some research I came to know that you need a FTTB connection in order to have an ethernet port in the building.   Its a 2 storey town house. I think it won't be of any use to us even if we ask about the Krone socket to the previous owner because the internet connection that we have is a FTTC.   Anyways, thanks for your help @david64 🙂 ...

I have setup the NBN box and the wifi router in the lounge room downstairs.   When you mentioned "The ethernet port you have found should run back to near the telephone wall socket where the FTTC connection comes in." does that mean the port is connected to the telephone wall socket in the upstairs bedroom?   Also, when you said "You need a short CAT5e ethernet cable from the outlet to a LAN port on wifi router." which outlet were you referring to? ...
