I hope this is the correct location for this request for help.
I am purchasing a home that has four floors: Basement, 1st, 2nd, and an attic. The basement and attic are unfinished, but I would finish the attic in the near future.
I want to have wireless coverage initially in the 1st and 2nd floors.
I am having an electrician quote installing ethernet cabling through the house This Tuesday:
1st floor - Family room and den room
2nd floor - all 4 bedrooms
3rd floor - attic
Currently the cable comes in on the first floor den room to the modem/wireless router.
What I would like to do is move the incoming cable internet to the basement, into a cable modem, then have a "switch/router" that then distributes to the rooms through wire.
So I need help picking the best "switch/router" for the basement and then the best "wireless system access points" so that I can place one on each of the three floors to grant wireless access. Also, is Cat 7 the ideal cable choice?
My research had many pointing to Ubiquiti, but I do not understand all of the different types of equipment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
