The best time to run A/V cables through the walls is before thedrywallhas been hung. You have access to the studs and wall plates at this time, and it's easy to make holes and secure the cable with the proper staples. Here's a general procedure to follow: Advertisement Step 1: Plan...
Signals attenuate to different degrees when traveling through walls, glass, and doors. Especially, metal obstacles may completely block or reflect radio signals. Power: If an AP's transmit power is low, STAs far away from the AP cannot receive radio signals. The transmit power of an AP...
Because the walls are open, it is easy to route the wires to each individual room. However, in the majority of instances, you can adapt your current house (albeit it will require a little more time and work pulling cable and sometimes cutting and repairing walls). We’ll go through sever...
In homes that had lots of TV all hooked up to cable or satellite hardware at one point, you could be dealing with dozens of lines of coax running through walls. If you're not lucky enough to have them helpfully labeled for you, it may seem too daunting to trace each run. T...
For large wireless networks, ethernet cables need to be buried in ceilings and walls and throughout public areas. In a wireless mesh network, only one node must have an internet connection. Each node added to the network shares its connection wirelessly with all other nodes in its vicinity ...
You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber. The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-...
If you have a large space that can’t be covered with a single powerful router, or there is no possibility to install a router centrally, or you can’t run Ethernet cables throughout the space, or maybe the walls are made of thick material that causes interference, the good solution woul...

Unfortunately this does not work on brick or cement walls. All you need to do now is shove those cords through the wall. But wait! There’s a really easy way to do this. It’s called Steel Fish Tape. This isSteel Fish Tape:
By carefully routing the home's plumbing, water can be heated by the sun and, as the water is pumped through the house, the heat can be dissipated to help control the house's temperature. The beauty of that: It doesn't add to the home's electric consumption. In a nationwide solar ...
