Hi.
Currently about to start a home renovation. Part of this includes a rewire. Ive been asked about my networking. Wireless or Wired. Now ive got a few things which i need to think about, just wondering if some of you helpful people could offer any advice . Things im planning to do (stream HD content from pc upstairs to downstairs tvs)
- Would wireless be up to this (stable enough)?
If wired is a more suitable option
- Cat5e or Cat6 (is cat6 overkill, much difference in price?)
- Was thinking wallsocket of 4 in the major rooms
- Placement of the router and switch and where all the cat cables lead to, i was thinking in the cupboard under the stairs, although was thinking if i did want to use wireless for some things still then wifi signal might be affected?
Theres currently a phone socket in the hallway, would it be worth connecting the router there and then a wire running from that to the switch under the stairs. My heads a bit scrambled on what to do
