How to setup a home network to get internet in each room,
Im getting my house done up and i want to have easy access to high speed internet in each room,
 
Thanks blend,

@a1ex2001 Im thinking of getting a network guy to come in and do it if I find its too big A job, but I want to do my own research before.

Ive done basic networking before, used cat5 made the cable to network a office using a netgear router some time ago, not very clean but it did the job.


I just wanted to check how its done properly the problem was ive never networked a house and my house is mostly brick, I could use the floors.
 
Also have a good think about the location you're going to run all the connections back to. Even if you might be only starting with a small router in the future you might be adding rack mount switches or even a small home server or NAS. Ideally you want a dry well ventilated location where noise won't be an issue.

And make sure it has plenty of power, ideally a dedicated ring main.

When planning the location of sockets don't forget a few for wireless access points.

I have a micro server which at the moment i keep near the main pc, thanks for the suggestion. any good place to keep the main modem? for now i keep it near the main pc.
