Thanks Mark.

 

The Solwise site has some great info - even I can understand it!

1: CAT5 cable back to a central point from each room (100m of cable, some modules, faceplates, and a patch panel)

2: A basic hub. Can be 10BaseT rather than 100BaseT - if no-one's running a server, then the bottleneck is going to be the ADSL line, and it won't make a difference whether the PCs connect to it at 10Mb/sec or 100Mb/sec

3: A "firewall in a box" like the AAM6000EV from www.solwise.co.uk

4: Probably a couple of ADSL filters?

Regards,

Mark

Living in a very rural area I only have access to basic dial up for
net access (sadly :( - would love adsl).
But I have a house in Liverpool that I am renovating for my eldest
son who is at uni there (yep I'm in the upper quartile of the latest
age survey) and guess what - broadband is available.

To get to the point: I have been asked whether we could provide net
access for those in the house. Ideally an access point in each
bedroom for a laptop. I would need something in place that was idiot
proof (plug & play) and I'm looking for the cheapest option (prefer
to spend my money on my HA toys!).

Can anyone give me an overview on what kit I would need to provide
(No problem pulling cat5 as the house is completely empty at the
moment with lots of floorboards up!)
