> So for the RJ45s that I want to remain as telephone I should not mess with those at all then.

Correct. From the picture, it seems the end in the wiring panel are numbered. I suspect they will also be marked behind the face plate (or possibly on it). If not, you'll probably need to get something like this to help figure out which wire is which.

> For ones I want internet I should disconnect them from the telephone block, terminate them with RJ45 plugs, and stick them and my new modem (connected to one of the like 8 coax plugs that are in that main box) into a switch. Then make sure my other ends at the sockets are terminated for RJ45.

If your 'new modem' is actually a modem / router combo, yes. If there are few enough ports around the house that you wish to convert to ethernet, you could even bypass a switch and plug directly into one of the four RJ45 ports on the back of your modem / router.

> That should also allow me to place the wireless router wherever there is a RJ45 plate.

I would absolutely not recommend using a wireless router if your goal is just to bolster a WiFi 'weak spot' in the house. Incorrectly configured, they can cause a lot of headaches, and the wireless radios in them are often subpar (especially if you stick to cheaper routers). The Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Lite is the go-to wireless access point 'round these parts right now (I own one myself). If you don't need to connect any other wired devices, you could even do one of these, which completely replaces the RJ45 wall plate with a nice unobtrusive device. If you wish to add WiFi coverage and connect one (or more) wired devices at a specific network port, a gigabit network switch connected to the port would work -- this will let you connect a WAP + your wired devices.
