I'm currently with Virgin media with my internet, the router is installed in my man cave which is in the upstairs spare bedroom. Running with the superhub (2) I think. Wireless upstairs is great but down stairs is woefully slow.
We're getting the garage converted to a TV / games room for the children and am wanting to do away with both BT phone and SKY, I've had nothing but hassle from them now for months and switching everything over to VM. I plan to get VM TiVo in both the living room and also the games room.
I'm worried that my sons XBOX, XBOX 1, TiVo boxes and the new wifi tv will struggle to connect to the Internet as the router is upstairs. I understand slightly about Cat6 cabling but in the games room there will be the above hardware plus in the future a gaming PC for my son.
I'd like to improve wifi signal/strength as well as possibly having the games consoles / PC hard wired. Can a single cat6 cable be split into say 4 wall mountable sockets or would I need a cable for each.
Power plugs could be an option however, the electrical sockets are wired on different ring mains through the fuse box, those upstairs and those down.
Advice would be appreciated.
