I live in a 4 bedroom house. The FTTP comes in in the living room. Currently I run a cat5e to an unmanaged network switch under the TV and have everything there such as consoles wired into it. My PC is upstairs and I'm currently using a TP link extender and have my PC wired into this.
I'm thinking to get to networking installed and wondered what I would need? I know cat6 cable, but what else? Cable from router to a network switch in the attic and then to various rooms? Manged or unmanaged switch? I really have no idea about networking?
Currently there is a port behind the TV and network cable that runs up to the attic and down to another bedroom. I don't know what the cable is or if it works.
I could try and replace this with cat6 (I'm guessing it wont be already) and reroute it to my office? I have a CCTV system I want cable running for, so could get this done at the same time.
