QUOTE(Jessica JM. @ Jan 2 2023, 11:16 AM) Hi all. I’m currently in renovation for my double storey corner lot and thinking this question as well. Unifi installed a modem and router at the centre of my house (second floor) few years ago. And since we are in renovation, I’m thinking this issue need to pay attention on it. a) Since you guys prefer to install CAT 6a cable first, is that mean, let’s say I have six bedroom, one living room and one kitchen, I need to install eight cable from the router to the relevant bedroom and etc? b) How about CCTV cable? As I think it might cheaper to buy it from Taobao, hence thinking for a plan and need your assistance. Just be careful when buying technical stuff on taobao. You need to know what you are buying and the exact details. For example, CAT 6A in taobao is called “super six” translated. Proper CAT 6A should be > 250Mhz frequency, lesser than that is “CAT 6 standard”. I bought a CAT 6A with 200Mhz from taobao, at price slightly than branded copper CAT 6 in malaysia. And can terminate with just usual cat 6 RJ45 connectors. Cat 6A (or at least shielded ones) and 7 need thicker ones.

So, everyone bedrooms and common areas, I will have LAN points for PC and WIFI for other devices. I gave my house layout and the seller suggested the solution to me. He did not tell me 3 phase would impact the network. Next month I will see the result, finger crossed.  I think he meant "powerline ethernet" rather than "power over ethernet"
