My advice.... ditch the idea of a drywall ceiling as they are a pain in the ass anyway and put in some drop ceilings. Then running cable becomes infinitely easier in the future. --- End quote --- +1. We're a house full of gamers and frequently have all 5 of us playing online games simultaneously, either together or separately and 5Ghz AC wifi from a single mesh point is more than sufficient. Wire your infrastructure, wifi to the clients. Between PCs, phones, tablets, home automation, cameras, or whatever I've got over 70 devices on my home wifi. Modern decent equipment can handle that kind of load without missing a beat. |

With AC, how is the bandwidth degradation with distance from the signal, and how does it handle solid structures in the house, like brick, as compared to a run-of-the-mill 802.11n wifi? |

I just use a HomePlug. With the wiring in this place I get 720 mbps on average. Not bad considering only get 100 mbps from Cox. |

Funny you should say that as it is pretty common. The beauty of it is that even with an RJ-45, you can still use a standard telco plug if you want to use it as a phone line. In one of my data center builds we ran Cat5e everywhere. If we needed a fax machine we just cross connected that run to one of our DID line blocks. |
