Hi All,
Currently looking into a house which I think we will very much be moving into.
The house is in need of modernisation which means electrical work is needed.
At 1st I wanted to get network cables routed around the house n various locations etc etc. I have an electrician coming out to price up that & also running HDMI points in certain areas.
I have never ever looked into Wireless Networking, being a bit of an old skool pc gamer I have always frowned upon it.
I have since come across the likes of these:

My plan for the house is to have a HTPC in the living room (playing blu-rays & possible downloaded content, possible streaming from the storage PC), gaming PC in the study, internet radio in the kitchen & possibly another HTPC/light gaming machine in the conservatory. Ideally I would also like to have a storage unit either in the loft or possible spare cupboard.
As you can see a potential of a few objects needing to be networked up.
I think that by going the wireless route I would save a fair bit of cash & also make things 100% easier and less restricted, however on the other side of me still thinking of the packet loss of when wireless 1st came about.
So please ladies & gents of OcUK, please help me choose & spec me some kit.
Thanks
Graham
