I dont know if this is in the right area or not. I am looking to run cat6 through my house. I have been reading on the internet and have seemed to got even more confused than before. I plan on running the cables under the house and into the walls to jacks. I plan on having multiple jacks in each room. Should I use stranded or unstranded? I heard cat6 isnt really any different than cat5e. Should I use shielded or unshielded? I basically have no idea what I'm going to need to actually do the install besides the cable.
I plan on using this switch NETGEAR GS724T-300NAS. Also if I run my internet straight into the switch will it allow me to have internet throughout my whole house? Do I need to run internet to the router and then to the switch in order to get internet in all my rooms? I have called a few places here in town and have been told a couple different things. I am starting to pull out what little hair I have left. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and I plan on doing this so I can stream media through my whole home from my computer and also have hard wired internet for all my gaming consoles. Thanks again.
P.S. House isnt a new construction house its just new to me as I am moving into it from my apartment.
