Ok guys,
We are now in the processess of purchasing a new home. Spec home and is wired w/cat 5. I have a Linky BEFSR41 and it may be at the end of its rope. So I am going to go with the WRG54T wired/wireless/AP/router all everything Linky.
My questions are now this. I will have two rooms with comps. 3 in one room and 3 in the other. I am curious and am having trouble conceptualizing what I will need to connect.
-Will I need a patch panel?
-I have a hub so that won't be an issue but will I need to connect a crossover cable to the wall socket or a regular cat5?
-I will still go wireless on 2 comps but when is it that I need another AP? (Linky WRG54T is supposed be an AP already)
-When we eventually have the walkthrough is there a way to test the sockets for signal strength or something of the sort?
