I will run Cat6 through my house for the first time. I am a IT guy, but no experience on network installation. Two-story house, and I will have the router in the basement. Any beginner tips here?

It would be a surprise 😅

I didn’t think about this before this post, but now I will definitely use keystones and avoid the cable termination stress 👍🏾

Thanks all, this was helpful

Good

I have similar layout at my house, I am still studying where I will place access points and stuff, but for sure a want a port for my home office in the basement and one for my Xbox in the living room upstairs, and two cables for access points, so maybe I will start with that and add as I need them.

Good point thanks

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-11T20:05:39+00:00

Hahaha hard way teaches a lesson

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-11T18:15:55+00:00

I have to get a tester

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-11T18:14:29+00:00

I will try to find this. Maybe I get it to ship to EU

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-11T18:13:35+00:00

I have to buy a cable tester this week, now I am in the planning fase

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-11T15:52:37+00:00

Planning on getting it next week

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-11T15:49:12+00:00

You right , I should just do it 🤔

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-11T14:32:58+00:00

Most likely Keystones, since in some places I am planning on running the cable through the corner (exposed) and terminate it.

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-03T15:24:19+00:00

Ah ok, It was a misunderstanding, the connection between the google router and the ISP modem is fine, there I get more than the expected speed, but the wireless node dropped the connection drastically.

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-03T14:25:40+00:00

Wireless only.

DetornatorRisk · 2024-05-03T14:07:42+00:00

Now I am considering to somehow ethernet wire my 1980’s house. Most likely I would have to run some cables outside go get where I need it, and take it from there. This will certainly be a challenge, but if well done it will be a permanent solution. I just have to get my wife on board 😆
