Or would you just use WIFI booster? What are you aiming for? Hard wired is ALWAYS better than wifi. no interference, better speeds, no black spots. Im slightly bias due to gamer who wants the best ping/no lag/fibre cnnection and I can do it myself. Most people wont notice the difference but depends on the application. As for cost - CAT 6 ~$.60 a meter, $20 for wall plates and plugs, ~$80 an hour (ask Fluff or Jet, ive never been a contractor or hired one), ~3 hours to do a couple of rooms... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Date would be to TV's, Foxtel, Computer and gaming. My son is a gamer and hates grans wifi and net speed. He is also on about the lag. Oh and home security. Would you run it into each of the kids rooms and spare room? Price is so I can work it out when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And depends on where you install them. if you can pick external walls you can throw cables down the cavity. Internal walls will require chasing out, plastering and painting wall. unless its a timber house, then you have to have a special drill bit, lift tiles/tin and drill through..... sooooo many reasons I dont do domestic work "oh it would be easy to install a power point just here right?".

Made it look nice by putting blank plates on the wall then running the end of the cable out.connected thru router in main room.done.cost nothing at all. Parents are cheap so they were very happy. There are nicer ways of doing it but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
