Hi, i had a go at going through the stickies and got some ideas, but im not sure if the advice is still the same as its a bit old now
Ive got my internet through BT and got a home hub, of the sort they were giving out about 2 years ago. At moment got one cable out (dont know the type of cable, its the one supplied with router) to my pc, and i have one of those BT internet over the power cable things plugged in the front room power socket with a wired feed to my bt youview box.
Im thinking this year, and it will be over the course of a year due to money, of updating everything, and ideally id like wired connections to devices, for firmware updates etc. Id need a whole load of cables, more than i have outputs for on the hub, so any ideas of the best way to do it please? im thinking:
spare room - 3 feeds (pc, gaming monitor when I get one, smart tv)
bedroom - 2 feeds (smart tv, pvr)
lounge - 4/5 feeds (tv, amp, uhd player, bt you view box, possibly a console of some sort, maybe a pj if i can cram one in)
would i just use longer lengths of the same sort of cable that BT supplied to connect router to pc, and slap in a few splitters (hubs are they called?) to send some wires to different rooms?
any help much appreciated! I may end up getting a pro to do this but id like to have some idea of what they may suggest, or i could suggest to them, and ideas now will help me get a ball park figure for pricing so i dont get ripped off later.
