So, this morning, after writing my last blog entry I have done some tweaks and re-wires of my home.
Previously the entire house was setup to use things wirelessly. It was orignally a 11mbit/s network, which about 3 months ago I changed to a 54G network. This meant I could connect to anything from anywhere, all well and good if your moving around but you don't have the kick and speed of a cat5 cable. So, today I decided that I would run some cables. I now have a cable from my ADSL box to the Cellar - which has a switch in it - which connects to:
a. test bench
b. exchange server
c. fileserver
d. sysnology box (400GB NAS box).
When I get the new Media server I will no doubt end up having that down there too. Whilst running this cable I also thought I would run one from the ADSL box, up the side of the house in to the loft. Almost a smart idea, until I noticed there was no sockets in the loft, so I had to run this back down in to my office (lucky on the 1st floor of the house.)
The point in all of this? Well - if I have media centres in every room and I want to be able to move files around them - wireless just won't do the job.
