Hello everyone,
I’m trying to get an early start and am already thinking about the wiring for the house that doesn’t exist yet (bungalow is fine).
What I know so far:
A small server/media center will be installed later in the utility room. The network wiring should be done with CAT7.
Five network outlets are needed in the living room.
One outlet in each children’s bedroom/bedroom.
I would also like to equip the kitchen with two outlets. The bathroom will remain without any.
That’s about all for now.
I don’t have exact ideas yet on how I want to implement all of this.
Internet access is obvious. Running cables from the patch panel in the utility room to the rooms. Ideally, using dual-port network sockets (I don’t know the exact technical term, but I think you know what I mean).
That shouldn’t be a problem with CAT7, right?
I’m totally uncertain when it comes to the TV setup. Currently, we have IPTV (one channel for watching and one for recording) and are quite satisfied.
Unfortunately, according to the provider, we’ll only get a 16 Mbps connection later. IPTV will work with that, but when the kids get older and more people are using the network, I’ll really struggle.
So I’m trying to think ahead and am slowly considering a satellite dish. That would mean I’d need to run coaxial cables everywhere, right? Plus, a receiver for each.
How does that work? Can I place one receiver in the utility room and then run star-shaped cables from there to the rooms (kids will also want TV)? Or does each room need its own receiver, with a star setup running from the satellite dish?

The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful, and with their assistance, we were able to resolve the issue with our Wi-Fi access point quickly and easily.
The figure at the bottom right is certainly one of the important criteria in house construction, but a functional and motivated support service, especially for IT systems, should also be taken into account.
