Re: New house, need to wire for a network



It doesn't bother X-10. It uses ~3-28MHz so it's far above the 120kHz used
by X-10.

There are 802.11B to Powerline Access Points. Look at the Asoka USA product
line.

There will be video soon.

I'd take a hard look before spending the time, money and effort to retrofit
wires.
