New Around Here
Hello All,
I just bought my first home, a 2300 sq ft single floor. I have Spectrum, and they gave me their Cable/Wifi Modem, which I hate, always dropping wifi connections. In my Co-Op I had a Netgear 1900, and had Cat5e throughout the Co-Op.
I plan on running Cat 6 cable to four rooms. Family Room, Living Room, Son's Room, Bedroom. All the drops would come to the Den. I have two Rack Servers, where I have all my blu-rays, and I need to be able to stream to Family Room, Living Room, and Bedroom. My son has a Roku TV and the other TVs are smart TVs. So they all will stream Netflix, and Hulu. (not at the same time) However, my son is a gamer, and he the PS4, XBox One, and his computer.
We also have several wifi devices, phones, tablets, and laptops. So, all that said. I have had great experience with Netgear routers. I had hiccups with DLink, and not so much luck with TLink. I need to be able to have good wifi coverage, because the last thing I need to hear from the family is why is my wifi so slow.
I did have MoCa in my rental house, and it worked ok, it was just a pain to get it up and running with the cable company.
Ok I think I provided you guys with everything I could think of. I look forward to hearing your opinions and suggestions.
Thanks for helping this 'Ole Grumpy Marine out.
