Guys,
I want to wire my house for Ethernet,
well
at the moment I just want to have three Ethernet connections in my lounge
to be
connected to my study (upstairs) where my PCs and the Ethernet ADSL.
Unfortunately,
I live in a new house so no mess is required by SWMBO, which means the
neatest
way of doing it would be to run a cable up into the loft, along, and then
down
the outside of the wall and the into the lounge. The outside wall cannot
be
seen from the road so it wouldn’t bother me.
Are the £30 reels of cable (on the
other
thread) up to outside life? Any suggestions?
Also, can anybody recommend somebody to
come and professionally install the cabling into my house in the
Coventry area? The walls are plasterboard stuck to the breeze
blocks, I think the builders mentioned daubed? And no, I couldn’t
have
done it before we moved in, because we didn’t buy it until it was
built (Doh!)
I was thinking of creating a node 0 in the loft, and moving Tivo and
Satelite
box up there, but then I’d need to transmit the remote control, and
put
more wire in………………. and then get
divorced!! ! Maybe better to find someone who
will do it for me.
Or is there a wireless solution?
I’m
using a Netgear ME102 connected to my switch for Wireless access from my
ipaq
and Fuji510. Could I connect another Netgear in to a switch downstairs and
use
it as a bridge? Anybody done this? I heard I couldn’t use the as
APs if
I did this?
Cheers
Steve
PS God, I hope Dell will sell us the
monitors cheap!
