Hi guys, in my previous house i had the luxury of having an extremely easy way to run cables. It was a single story house with an unfinished basement.
We must purchased a new home and running cabling is going to be extremely complicated i think. Its a two story house with a finished basement. I'm used to having gigabit network in my old house and being able to copy large files around quite easily.
My first concern was we stream a lot of HD video around the house to our entertainment systems (VUDU mainly).
Second is i'm a developer and i do a lot of work with sql server. I'm not used to having to put wireless adapters in desktop PCs
i had a guy come out to the house today to give me an estimate. He said he is going to have to charge me by the hour because they have no idea what the are going to run into when they start to get in the walls but he was guessing it would be in the neighborhood of $1,500.
I do have a high end wireless router. Netgear R7000 nighthawk with dd-wrt (AC wireless) that i get excellent signal so far on the 2nd floor (cable modem & router is in the basement).
What would you guys do? Would you just use wireless and see what happens and install wireless cards in the PCs? What would you for the few devices that require to be hard wired (Vonage Phone Adapter)?
Any advice would be appreciated.
