I have a house with quite thick walls, speedtest.net test on my laptop wifi gives 70MBs beside the router and 5MB in the pc room (a powerline adapter from the router will take it to 20MBs in the pc room).
The floorplan is here https://ibb.co/tC5mtSW
The phone line come in at the back of the house in the dining room so I am now trying to work out my otions for rerouting everything.
I'd like to put a NAS under the stairs and stream everything from there I have 1 main pc which is the one that does the downloading and is a nuc attached to the back of the tv with wireless keyboard.
The question I have is,
a: is it better to route the phone line to under the stairs, which would give the NAS the fastest connection to the internet and powerline/wifi to the other devices
b: route the phone line to beside the main pc and then powerline/wifi to the nas storage
c: some other route
upstairs has just be decorated so puting new wiring up there won't be an option right now.
getting wiring to under the stairs would need to be a very thin wire so it isn't visible on the flooring (ie phone, or flat ethernet)
I have a 3 year old and they will eventually start to use the tv so I'm trying to future proof the layout as much as possible.
thanks
