[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 912128, member: 54538"] Rich, part of the speed increase is not just internet connectivity, but internal connectivity. (For example, transferring programs from on Tivo unit to another.) In that case, the speed limitations of the internet don't apply. JDBoxes, TJR, is there a need (or even if there isn't a need, is there any advantage) to have the modem or router adjacent to a computer? Rob, when you say "this" will not work, are you referring to my proposal, or what JDB and TJR propose? It's sounding like a) instead of the distribution panel, I need to use a "switch", b) I can use my router as the main "switch" in the basement, and c) I'll need another "switch" (a sub-switch?) up in the attic, which would take the signal from the primary switch in the basement, and distribute it from there to any jacks on the upper floor. I assume that such a switch requires independent power? If so, I will also need to add an electrical outlet up there. [/QUOTE]
