We're moving house in a couple of weeks, the BT master socket is in the kitchen, and I want to run cable to a cupboard in the living room where my new Dell T20 server will be housed.
I need to decide on basic cabling, can't fit a full wired network so upstairs will be Wi-Fi/home plugs, but I want to make sure I've got downstairs set up right first.
My thinking is as follows :-
Phone line in kitchen with sky router connected as a modem
Cat6 cable from sky modem through to server in living room cupboard
From server into 8 port hub
From hub into Asus router for Wi-Fi
Also from hub into everything with an Ethernet port downstairs
Does that make sense and is it in the right order?
