Moved into my nearly new Redrow house last year, and even though I have Wifi access all over the house, the reception in the 'office' (rear bedroom), is not as good as I'd like, so what I would like to do is to put the access point in the loft for the upstairs, as the router (in the lounge by the phone socket), has a wireless capability, so I can use that when I'm downstairs, and the loft AP for upstairs to give me great coverage...
So basically, the access point need a CAT5 connection to the router (Lounge-->Loft). Getting the cable there is another matter though... These are my conclusions so far...
A) Go out of the Sky cable hole in the wall, and pin to the outside of the house and into the loft. I don't really want a cable externally as I don't have a big ladder, and the light grey CAT5 is ugly !!
B) I thought about pulling the cable up into the loft with the TV coax which is presented behind the TV, and after joining the coax, the cat5 and a piece of sting to pull the coax back down, I got into the loft only to find that I couldn't budge the coax from that end, it really feels like it is caught quite close to the top, but I can't get close enough access to see what the problem is...
C) There's no option to run the cable through the house, up walls, through ceiling, etc as my wife would kill me for butchering our luvly new place!!
So there we go - any other non-destructive ideas?
Cheers all,
