How do I set this up: One large gigabit switch with multiple runs to multiple rooms, or smaller switch distributing to each room and a switch there distributing to each device?
I have a 3 level townhouse with lots of other WiFi networks all around me and poor wifi throughput in certain rooms. So I have decided to go wired for things like the Xbox360, roku, receiver, desktop pc, etc. So there are about 5 rooms with 3-5 potential wired network devices. I have fishtape and some cable pulls and a minimal amount of experience running and terminating Cat5e. I am thinking of using Cat6 for this. Has anyone ever had this professionally done in their home from a contractor? I wonder what the labor of that costs?
Thanks in advance,
Pat
