I am in a similar  position as bobcat. I have the house wired for
ethernet, and the OnQ panel downstairs, but I am not sure how to
connect in the cable modem, or a router. I am also a novice when it
comes to networking and telecom.

Is it the case that a router has to be connected to the cat5 cable for
each room? And if that is the case, how do I figure out which cable
goes with which room? The wiring in the box is not very well labeled.

If it woulr help, I will try to get a picture of the panel and post
it.
