I assume there’s no way to just run an Ethernet cable up to the loft?
That would solve all your problems.
Could run it up an outside wall...
Soul-
Maybe, just seen some 'outdoor-proof' ethernet actually. Not a fan of ladders (meaning coming up here is a constant stress even for 3 meters, much less 15) and/or dangling wires so if I just threw a reel out of the velux window it'd flap around and annoy me / if it was somehow screwed down I'd need to risk life and limb.
Tbc...
CYOA
^Good point. I'd definitely like PoE in the attic.
Would a workaround be:
Virgin Hub 3 (unless there's an alternative / better coax>ethernet router?) > google nests around the house (though i've just read that the longer the chain of mesh things, the slower the speed?) > then some kind of device that takes that wifi signal and converts to PoE?
Basically in the attic I want to have about 5 networked devices:
Camera, 2 video switchers, printer, computer.
