In my new house in Shenandoah I have placed a Netgear FS105 in the attic and run 4 cables, 2 to the office and 1 in the living and 1 in the dining room. The uplink and one of the other wires runs down to the office, where I have the BP6-based dual celly router and the Arris telephony cable modem (triple play package from Cox). Seems to work OK so far..

But, as Ray pointed out, the SOHO router might not do too well either. The problem is that I don't want a bunch of cables going from the router back into the wall to feed the network to other rooms in my house. Putting the network devices in the attic would save me from a lot of cabling. However, it looks like it can't be avoided, as the devices might not last long in the heat of the attic.
