The module you have is for voice / phone, not for ethernet distribution.

Hopefully you have an additional run of Cat5 to each room, tucked in to the
bottom of your cabinet or in the wall cavity underneath it. If that's the
case, you can terminate that cable with RJ45 males, and plug them into the
ports on your router; or you could punch them into a RJ45 patch bay. (OnQ
363486-01 for example)

Alternately, it IS possible to run Network AND phone in the same cable, but
you'll need to repunch your exiting cables, splitting some pairs to the data
side and some to the voice side.
