  • Ahhh man... i'd love to be able to wire my flat up properly but have no time or money to take up floorboards, even though they do need work.
    Sounds like a decent set up, although my wireless is pretty solid (fibre optic running through Apple Airports).

  • Mine was a bit of a ballache to be honest. I only took up the bare minimum of floorboards so the rest of the work involved tying bits of string to something, then poking my head through the floorboards and trying to aim a throw across the foundations. Repeating half a dozen times with much swearing inbetween, then pulling the thrown thing up from the other side of the foundations and using the string as a guide to tie the cat6a to. Then for upstairs, fortunately there is some removed pipework between the floors so there are holes ready made to run a cable through. Still a hassle, but glad I did it eventually.

    And whoever owned the house before decided it was best to throw all the extra carpet gripper into the foundations, which makes for a million spiky things things to snag a bit of string on. I'm not sure if they were trying to set a trap. Great if I want to recreate Home Alone however.
