please help telephone and broadband new build annix wiring

[714gold714]

Hello there
Currently first fixing a small annix building basically customer is having this annix built in the garden and is requiring 2 BT telephone points and would like to be able to use internet broadband from both points.
My question is do I run a telephone cable from existing house to new annix and also run a cat 5 from router in existing house or is there a easier way?

All help appreciated

Run a 3 pair telephone and 2 cat5, even if both cat5's aren't used now its always handy to have a spare.

The broadband will be fed from the router via CAT 5, unless they go for 2 telephone lines and a separate router in the annex - which is very unlikely. As monkey says, run spares while it's easy to do so. Daz

Or use powerline adaptors.

wireless ? - I know it does not help you but why bother wiring anything for broadband or even phones. Only reason to cable nowadays is for AV

Domestic broadband router may not provide enough wifi signal to get good reception at the back of the garden.

I prefer a wired connection too personally. its what I have in my house and recommend to any customers that ask me.

Every rewire i do i recommend wiring cat5 everywhere all back to a central location, to tv points, places where a computer may be or anywhere really, its so cheap and easy to run, all you need is one router and patch panel then to your points for whatever you need and put in wireless access points if its a big place and the signal is weak

My Dad bought some device for his motorhome, about 70 quid, got a big anenna (or if youre German saying it in english, " un-tunna")on it, picks up WiFi for hundreds of metres around...I was sceptical until he showed me, it picked up about 20 different signals, its proported to be for motorhomers so they can login into wifi provided for them but I can see it might be used otherwise.....

Where did he get it?

Any wireless equipment that has a removable antenna can have it's performance improved by using a higher gain antenna although doing this may mean it is operating at a greater EIRP than allowed by the regulations
