We're totally remodeling a condo (walls coming off) so I have a chance to rewire the whole place. Using ATT UVerse but I still want to run RG6 coax to all the TVs just in case.
Some basics I'm trying to figure out:
1. There are only 4 ethernet jacks on the Uverse router, and I will have at least 4 TVs in the condo using all 4 of those. How do I fit my computers and such into the system if the TV boxes are using all of the jacks on the router?
2. Can I run the Cat6 to my telephone jacks or do I also need to buy a separate type of cable for the telephones?
2.5. If I have several telephones, several TVs, and several computers all using Cat6 cable throughout the condo, obviously that has to meet up at some central switch or something (they can't all plug into the router) so what kind of switch do I need to research for that?
3. Where do you buy wall plates that terminate in both RJ45/RG6?
4. If I'm getting in over my head, would an ordinary electrician/contractor be able to figure this stuff out or should I be going to a home theater specialist or something?
Please answer what you can to help me out, I've got an electrician coming in to do a bunch of wiring next week so I need to figure out what to tell him to do. Thanks everyone!
