Hey everyone! Looking for some help on a home setup that we're moving into.
Sellers have insulated concrete floors and advised we will need internet boosters/etc. when we hook all of this up. They are an older couple and had a company build a commercial-grade AV system in the basement in 2011, but the company is now defunct. Long story short, they're not much help with the current setup and seem to have part if running through 2x directv boxes and 1x comcast box, so now some sort of loop/chain is broken.
Curious on thoughts on how to set up the home network.
Comcast is coming out for free today/tomorrow to take a quick look. We have our own router/modem (NETGEAR - Nighthawk X4S Dual Band AC3200 Router with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem Model:C7800-200NAS).
Sellers currently have a MASSIVE amount of cables/coaxial/low voltage running through the home. I need to run through today and see what all is hooked up. What I do know is they have CAT5 throughout the house. Am I better off running boosters on each floor, or hooking up different routers for each floor to create networks that way? They have a ton of "old, high tech" in the home and I'm trying to see if I can at least utilize some of it.
Sorry for not having all of the information--but at least this can possibly help start a conversation in the short-term.
Thanks!
