The obvious answer is to pay some guy to rewire
the house. Not Going To Happen. Next answer is me rewire the house, also
NGTH. So I though that I would buy a 5 or 8 port switch, attach it to
the cable modem, patch the switch into 5 or 8 of the already run cables,
and attach the wireless to the other end of the most advantageously
exposed spot. But, before I did this, I though I'd ask... can I put a
switch in front of the wireless router? like so:
cable modem ----> switch ---> patch panel ----> wireless router?
Michael.
Another obvious answer that I think would work well for your particular
situation is an Ethernet Electrical outlet bridge. This is a somewhat
expensive solution (I think the units cost $80 a piece, you need at
least 2 to be useful,), but would allow you to bridge the wired network
segments into rooms that don't have cat 5 cable over the house
electrical wires. really cool tech for these kinds of situations :)
