Hi,anyone cabled up their house or flat as a network? We're moving soon to a place that needs a pretty full refurb and I thought i'd cable it up. I know wireless exists but cable should be faster and my life's too short for the ongoing battle with wireless and changing standards. I'm thinking 2 cables to each room and a couple to the TV / stereo. I've not got any equipment to stream tv or music but it's future proofing I suppose.
I think i need to run all cables from one point and get a switch from that point. Also, i think i'm going to use cat6a cable. Bit more than than cat5 but the cable costs are tiny copaired to the labour.
Anyone done this? Do I need a 'specialist' or is it easy to terminate / connect everything myself?
Just thought i'd consult the 2 wheled oracle for advice.
