Laying network cable

Just for the record, because you always say old-fashioned. The mathematically average player is now well over their mid-30s. These are all the people like me who grew up with a C64, NES, or similar. I still like to play from time to time, despite being almost in my mid-forties. Maybe I’m the old-fashioned one compared to you xD

In my time, there was Nintendo 64, Gameboy, Playstation 1. I had them all because others had them. Playing alone at home bored me back then, I don’t miss anything to this day. Or do you think I will start when I’m in my mid-30s? I mean by old-fashioned more the generation of my parents who are now 60. Sure, I still like modern technology... but there are limits. I want my children to be able to spend 2 hours in the car also with a book, etc.

It was meant more as a joke. You might be modern rather than old-fashioned because you take different paths. *handshake*

If Wi-Fi is enough for you, then so be it. It's more like a house that's about 10-15 years behind the times.

However, one must be aware that Wi-Fi was developed for mobile devices and generally is not focused on maximum performance (speed). From my perspective, with Wi-Fi you will have problems distributing the increasing internet speed throughout the house in the future. If you look at computer forums nowadays, the question "why can't I use my internet speed via Wi-Fi?" comes up almost daily. Very often, people then retroactively install LAN cables throughout the house on the surface because they are fed up with their problems. That's my current experience. In my opinion, cables will still accompany us for the next 20-30 years, and if they lie in empty conduits, replacement is also possible.

You might be right...

But upstairs there is actually nothing except bathroom, sleeping, and kids. It's enough for us if there's good Wi-Fi reception there. The kids don’t need super high-speed internet, although you have to say that in our house the connection currently only delivers 16,000... That’s supposed to change in the next few years since the village will be getting fiber optic cables first.
If the connection or Wi-Fi is too weak for the kids' shooting games at some point, then they should move out and take care of themselves when they're grown up. Until then, they just have to live with what’s available....

But this is going to be a never-ending fundamental discussion now.

I know what I have to do for now, thanks for that....

I think with one LAN socket at the TV and one upstairs or maybe if there are still cables left in the children's rooms, we are already better equipped than 80% of those who have built in the last 5 years, from what I have heard...

I don't know if I move in different circles and visit or accompany different new buildings, but in the last 10 years I have seen few houses with fewer than 5 CAT sockets/connections. The obligatory 5 sockets are now standard for many general contractors/developers.
