Hello guys, I've got a good question for you network pros out there.
My parents are on the verge of completing their house they've been building for the past few years. It's been one hell of a long, tedious journey, but they are happy. The house was was being planned nearly 5 years ago, and has been being built ever since, and at the time they contacted a tech guy about doing the technology in the house.
Anyway, for internet in the house, they wired the whole house with cat5 cable, so that there is cat5 outlets in the rooms. However, I want to know what they can do regarding wireless internet in their house.
The house is three stories tall, and the first floor is cement or whatever (not wood). How could we get wireless internet throughout the house?
I've been thinking, but I don't know much about wireless networks. Most likely, the internet connection for the house will be running into a central location, which will then be fed throughout the house on the cat5 cable.
Could we attach wireless access points ( http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=608 ) every few rooms into the ehternet connection, and have that distribute wireless internet throughout the house?
Or is there a way to setup a bunch of repeaters in the house to make the signal get around the entire house (remember, we are talking about three stories of big house here)
What do you think the best way to get the internet throughout the house is? Honestly, it doens't matter if the cat5 cable is used or not, we just want the absolute best way. There will be a handful of PCs in the house, and a couple of laptops. The laptops will of course be mobile in the house, so that is why we need the internet througout the house.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Bob
