Ethernet In Every Room

You might prefer to.

Ethernet in every room.

My setup is likely overkill for many people. At some point in its history the humble rj 45 ethernet connector got a bad rap. Especially if you have 16 port for 6 rooms i would assume ports 1 6 would be on but who knows label your panel. They all terminated with just a wire nut behind the plate in the closet to connect a phone line in every room.

Behind the plates it was all cat5e. You may have heard that money makes the world go round. My apartment had rj 11 ports in every room and one in the closet. If no labels this could take a while.

In your home it s the speed and reliability of the internet connection. If your telephone or cable point is in the living room and your study is at the other end of the house you might have to extend the range of your network or create a new one that has a wired. With moca i not only get full gigabit internet speeds i get almost 2 5 gigabit file transfer speed over network. Monoprice was my friend here.

Plug in laptop or pc to ethernet in that room. Rinse and repeat through every room. No issues with interference etc. Setup is even easier than powerline just screw in the coax cable plug in ethernet and power on.

If you lack the appropriate speed to power multiple connected devices or to stream rich media content on the playstation 4 it won t matter how good of a router ethernet switch or extender you buy the wi fi signal won t be strong enough. I got new wall plates and teterminated everything to give me gigabit ethernet in every room. I put four ethernet jacks at each location in the office and living room and single ethernet jacks in the bedroom and the kitchen. Wi fi routers entranced us all with their promise of easy setup and constant connectivity while wired ethernet.

Having a wired network at home allows you to have a private high speed network for internet access file sharing media streaming online gaming ip security cameras and much more.
