Re: POE Switch?

With Powerline there's no cable to run so you don't have intermediate

your

home's existing 110V electrical wiring.

So as long as your endpoint device (PC, DVR, whatever) will be around a
power outlet you're good to go.

I suspect that won't work with my house ... I wasn't able to get a phone
jack to work over the power line, so I'm thinking that ethernet wouldn't
work well either.

I was thinking of doing a number of home run's from the basement to the
attic and then into the individual rooms, but that's a lot of wire to haul.
I *think* I can get one wire up to the attic without too much difficulty.

I figure once I get that wire up there, I should be able to just use a
local switch to redistribute to the rest of the rooms.
