My house is very big and sprawling. The Wireless Access Point (WAP) I have doesn’t provide whole house coverage. My cable modem is in my office by all my computers (I have a lot—I write books on servers and administration) so I need the demarcation point there.

So I’m going to run cat 5 across the attic from the office side across to the bedroom side, and wire another WAP in the bedrooms.

Whole house coverage!

The only reason I haven’t done it yet is I didn’t want to drill a bunch of holes through the walls. So, I know have a cable puller I can use to reach from the current cable TV drop in my bedroom and pull down the cat 5 to hook up the second WAP.
