I already have two things wired up (HTPC/XBOX) but im thinking about wiring up the other computers.
I read that couplers add some resistance but did not find anything as to how much. Im currently using 50ft cat6 wires with a keystone coupler on each end (and then maybe 3ft of wire going to the router/devices). The other rooms would probably need 100ft cat6. Would I be ok using couplers again? The ones already done seem to work great. I would rather not worry about crimping if the couplers will work.
And any particular router you recommend for a wired/wireless (we have one laptop) setup with usb? Or does it not really matter? Im not too worried about the wireless performance just as long as it can surf the web, but I need the wired to be able to stream well
