Reply With Quoteabout 100m i think it is
what is the maximum allowed length of a LAN cable connection? for eg, router and the PC are 10 meters away from each other, will the signal travel without any interferance?

thank you so muchOriginally Posted by poita
reason im asking is that wireless is quite a hit and miss in my dwelling
preparing to network the PC room with the lounge room, the master bedroom and the kids bedroom.
i will run the cabling through the walls and over the ceiling inside the roof.
1. during summer the roof gets quite hot as we know it, will this affect the cabling in any way?
2. i need to run 3 separate cables from the PC room to each of the other rooms, right?
3. a one 3 outlet wall plate and 3 one outlets are required, right? (3 outlet wallplate in PC room and the other one outlet wallplates in the other rooms)
4. what type of router will i need, im looking for a fast connection.
Depends on whether or not it's CAT5e or CAT6 cable..
CAT6 is better as the pairs are twisted = Lower loss...
You wouldn't wanna go more than 100m as Poita said, but 10m is a short run in any book...

Forget LAN cable, get yourself some EoP (Ethernet over power line) adapters. You need one for the modem's uplink (port 1 for most of them) and one for each device you want to connect to this weird wired network. It will cost you about $130 for a pair of 85 Mbps adapters. If you want to go 200 Mbps it will cost you much more, but unless you want to stream HD content you'll be just fine with the slower ones.
Good thing is that you just plug them in and it works-no wires to pull, now holes to make in walls and no extra cables to worry about.

Only prob with those is that if the circuits go to different breakers, they don't work...

also if your budget can extend and you go down the CAT cable route get a switch rather than a router... but only if you can afford the extra $$.

yer as said PoE is fantastic if on the same circuit, but if on a different circuit not so great.
ethernet cable most cost effect way
