Hi guys,
I've just moved house and am getting ready to set up a new network. I'll be running Cat 5 cable from my front room, where I have a Virgin Superhub, out the wall and up to my front bedroom. From there I'll be running cable through to my office. I'll also be running from my front room through the wall to my dining room.
Front room - Virgin Superhub, HTPC, Sonos
Dining room - Sonos, spare port for laptop
Front bedroom - TV... will be upgrading so probably network connected, HTPC, Sonos
Office - 2 PCs, Server, printer, possible Sonos.
I've had frequent wireless dropouts from the Superhub and I've read that it's an issue with the hub itself, so I was looking at turning off the wireless feature and getting a seperate wireless router.
I'll also need switches in the dining room, bedroom and office to keep my options open...
I'm looking for the fasted possible speeds across the LAN as I'll be streaming uncompressed Bluray rips. The wifi will be for tablets, phones and laptops etc.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Jed
