I spent 3 hours tonight working on the network in my house. I have fixed the face plates on in 4 rooms (8 ports) and wired them into the patch panel in my network cabinet under the stairs. Some of the time I was fitting the network switch and testing a few things.
Tomorrow night I will run 2 cables to the attic (for future expansion) and 2 more just through the wall into the living room. There is already one face plate in the living room but the other side of the room. Hopefully tomorrow night the network will be finished other than the wireless connection to my parents house but that needs the outside wall drilling both at my house and parents. Hopefully do that at the weekend.
The only problem I have at the moment is the fan in my network switch is VERY noisey. You can hear it throughout the house at the moment. I will see if I can change it, looks like it is replacable. If not I will get another switch off Ebay.
Once we have finished running the last network cables tomorrow night we should be able to put the floor boards back down. I will feel like we are getting somewhere then!!
