What's that entail? What's the potential cost? And what kind of issues
have you had to deal with regarding wireless?
Five years ago, a 1000' reel was $75, and wallplate jacks were $5 to
$7 each. I don't know current prices.
Cat-5E is what you actually want, since GigE supports it.
Plus the cost of installing it (running the cable, dropping the lines
into the walls, etc?)
I look at that and it seems like a lot of work vs. the ease of wireless
which we've had little to know problems with. Our house is pretty small
and even a 50% signal on 802.11g means something like 24Mbit, which is
fine for checking email and surfing the web, and is ~25x faster than our
internet connection anyway. :)
Maybe I'll run into issues when I start thinking about automated backups
and things. Hadn't thought of running cat5, so I do appreciate the
suggestion.
