Sorry TS tumpang thread.

How much is the normal charges to pull LAN cable for typical double storey terrace? From living downstairs to living upstairs.

i bought a Cat7 cable from Taobao, 100m costed less than rm500.

since i am renovating my house and replacing all wires in the house, i just asked the contractor to pull the cable. He charged extra rm200 only. good contractor.

If you run a cable between routers do you call it mesh? Do they have to be mesh routers? I just run a cat 6 from my WiFi router to another router as AP upstairs with the same ssid so my devices switch to the stronger signal. Is this considered mesh?

from what i read/ study online, router/ AP won't switch to stronger signal automatically. your device may only connected to the first router/ AP it found.

I am not sure about the switching part as i haven't try out.
some i read had a wireless access control device which will control all AP and do the switching. not so sure about this yet.

I've another question, no matter cat6a, cat7, cat7a or cat 8 all are compatible with our device? Just the supported speed is different?

as per my understanding, all use the same RJ45 connection and all should be compatible.
