New Around Here
Just bought a house and doing some major renovations.
- Raised bungalow.
- Bedrooms at one end of house and living room at the other (60 ft end to end).
- 2 car Garage past the living room
- 1000 SQR Foot addition past the garage.
... so a long stretch from one end to the other.
Setup:
I'm going to run Ethernet cable to: Bedrooms, Living room, basement and addition.
- Stream HD content from the net and a NAS to media boxes to 5 TVs
- 5 cellphones, 3 tablets, 6 laptops, 2 pcs
Current Equipment: Asus RT-AC66U and cheap trendnet TEG-550G Switch
Questions:
1 - Is cat6 worth the expense?
2 - My Internet guy wants to sell me the Unifi AP (2 of them)
--> They're only rated at N300. Adequate considering all media streaming will be hardwired?
Any suggestions? I don't really want to spend $800 on the Unify AC Versions.
Thanks
