Hello to all, new member here. Since this is my first post I figured I would show some pictures of what I am trying to accomplish. I have recently felt the urge to dive into my home network and revamp it so to speak.
A small back story...
For the last few years I have been running a Arris sb6141 and multiple wireless routers found at the local wally world. Now due to the fact that life has happened since college where I did go for computer engineering, however did not finish and I am the proud single father of a wonderful 4yo son, I have never had the time or the motivation to change the cheapish setup for internet here at the house.
However...
Now that my son has taken an interest in not only video games but has his own tablet and stream box in his room for tv, and I now am in a position with work to have more time at home, I suddenly had the motivation I was missing. I went on a (small but large to me lol) spending spree and bought what I feel is a good base setup that will get us rolling for a while till add ons and upgrades are needed.
This is what I have so far and will be starting the wire running tomorrow.
Startech 6u 12in deep wall mount rack
Trendnet 24 port patch panel ( future room for more lines)
Tp-link 16 port unmanaged gigabit switch
Cyberpower surge protector
Tp-link ac2300 wireless router
Cableguard outdoor enclosure
new grounding block
Fivestarcable cat6 cmr solid copper core 500ft
Rg6 quad shielded 75ohm cable
wall plates, keystone jacks, crimper, punch down, rj45 connectors, boots, and assorted wire management things.
Our house is only 1250sqft and single story so it is not a large scale job by any means. i will try to take more pictures as the install progresses, though this could take more than a moment to complete. Any suggestions are welcome and thank you in advance for all the help i will inevitably ask for.
