So what's this about?
I've decided to record the progress of upgrading my home network from the 10/100 and 802.11b/g that it is to gigabit and 802.11g only. This will be a piece at a time thing, the end result I hope to be proper wall plates with at least two ports per room (maybe more) along with coax and phone. Tomorrow I'll start the process of documenting the network in it's current form, along with some pictures. Then as I add or change things I'll post the progress of those changes.
Most of my networking knowledge is self taught, so this is just another step in that self teaching process. It's been a while since I've prepped my own RJ45 connections, so this should be fun.

Glad to have found this - I followed a link from your elder-n00b site after watching you on hak5. I am just about to start a similar upgrade due to the sudden proliferation of networkable(is that a word?) devices now that my kids are of an age that they nee/want them eg:DS, Wii, netbooks.
ReplyDeleteI will therefore be following with interest - and also purchasing the Netgear GS608 - how have you found it btw?
So far the GS608 has worked rather well. The only thing that I've come across is that occationally when connecting my MacBook 13" it will detect it at 100Mb instead of 1Gb, but I have only noticed it when connecting from a certain cable. I have one that runs to my bed, and one to my desk in my bedroom, and only the one to my bed seems to have that issue. I think it might just be that cable.
