Ethernet jacks typically look like a larger phone jack. You can typically find them on the lower parts of your wall. Be sure to check behind curtains, sofas, your TV console, etc. If you’re having trouble locating an Ethernet jack on your walls, it may be found in a panel box in your master bedroom closet, laundry room or garage.
