@BinaryJay Yes, all three cables from the patch panel currently go into the switch. Number 1 is where the internet signal comes out from so that supplies it to the switch, nr 2 and 3 go to two different ethernet wall sockets. Before I put the switch there nr 1 and nr 2 were simply connected with a 1ft ethernet cable. And you are correct, when I plugged the CCU in to the Airport Extreme ethernet port they all worked well together. However that would require me to keep the Airport Extreme in the undesired location in my living room, that is why I was trying to find a workaround to this, but I guess that will not be possible. Your other suggestion also would work to put Airport Extreme instead of the switch, except that patch panel is located upstairs in my bedroom closet (weird location, who knows why it's there). The Airport Extreme would not even fin inside the wall panel. So I guess I'm out of options? Or I just have to sacrifice to put AirPort extreme in the location next to my TV
