Wiring Behind the Wall

<< < (6/6)

RobbyMac:
Cut a hole in the upstairs wall (to patch later), drill through whatever studs/caps you need to get to the wall cavity on the 1st floor. Cut a hole in the 1st story wall down low to mount a wall plate with network jack in it. use this hole to catch your fish tape, and eventually run your wire...

or spend the 60$ on wireless like i did after running 2 sets of wires just to have stuff move around the house again.

Bobulus:
If the house is already wired for telephone, it makes things a lot easier. I did something like this in my house to connect an upstairs bedroom with the wired router on the other end of the house and downstairs.

The rooms were wired for simple, four-strand telephone, so I tied the 8-strand network cable to the telephone cable and went into the attic to pull both up and through. As long as the knot isn't big enough to catch on anything, it'll work. And you can still get 100BaseT ethernet with only two pairs of wires, so the other two pairs you can use for the phone line you removed.

Wait,  you got a half-assed job for free, or you didn't pay AFTER the job was half-assed?

It's one of those, "Here, we're having this wiring installed. You don't have a choice with who we go with because we already paid for the contract. Make sure they do a good job."  :dizzy:
