Thanks Mike great video! I like the How to Videos! Attics always seem to scare me! ( Watching too many Horror movies!!!) Lol!

[@kingtee94]

Great video, very detailed and will help me with installation.

[@UltimateTechHub]

@kingtee94 Glad you liked it and thank you for the kind comments.

Great video. Something not mentioned here (but maybe mentioned elsewhere in a previous video I can't find) - what junction box are you using here? I'm not sure if that's what that thing is even called. I'm talking about the housing that has all your network equipment that is inset into the wall. It seems very nice.

[@UltimateTechHub]

@bdon7825 It's called a Network panel or Network Enclosure. They are pretty common in new construction homes. They are awesome for holding all your networking devices. Thank you for watching !!!

[@patrickdrake5529]

Thanks for your video - I'm trying to figure out how to do something similar in my home but the location I'm trying to drop wire from is very very difficult to access. Its an exterior wall and because of the roof truss there's only about 4 inches of clearance. I think my project will require some type of special drill or drill bit in order to drill a deep enough hole through the top of the wall to feed the wire. I'm current only able to drill at an angle and so I can't get through the stud on the top of the wall. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

My interior walls had fire blocking. Ended up having to open the wall up and patch the drywall.

[@toneloc79]

I Pulled all my wire with coax and phone line to get my Ethernet wiring in the wall i use 5e wished It was 6a but from the house to the garage i used 6 a though

[@UltimateTechHub]

Cat5e is plenty for most home networks. Thank you for watching!

[@travellerseko]

I hope someone will record a video for houses made with brick or concrete 😁 it is not an easy job at all for my home and this hell of a job keeps putting me away.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yep that's a whole lot of drilling into bricks and concrete! Thank you for watching!

[@aurvaroy6670]

If you worked on insulated walls, then that bolt trick wouldn't work unfortunately. Still great video to watch

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@aurvaroy6670 I agree and thank you for watching !

[@jamesmcmahonii8433]

Why do you hate yourself @9:47? Buy patch panel or 2, cable manage that unruly bush in your panel, and enjoy your handy work.

[@jamesmcmahonii8433]

The bolt is a good idea. I use a washer, then a magnet on the wall to move the string where I want it to go.

Hey man! I need a gaming mouse with at least 3 side buttons for Pro Esports level gaming. Please leave some recommendations under $100.

[@Blackdog4818]

NO CAT 5e. I have it, it's already not carrying a load for my new ethernet card. 90 mbs max speed.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Cat5e works great! I just use cat6 and cat6a. Cat5e should get you 1000 Mbps. You may need to check your connections and cables for damage.

[@Blackdog4818]

They're offering 1 gig service. The cable is from 2010, unshielded CAT 5e. The connections are fine. I suspect the wire is just corroded?

[@UltimateTechHub]

@Blackdog4818 Yes, try and run new cable. Keep me posted.

[@jamesmcmahonii8433]

You need to test 2 wired devices in your house by simply doing a file transfer to troubleshoot the cable. Cat 5e is good for 1 gbps, but you'll never get full speed. 800 mbps at most. If you're doing a speed test to your ISP, you may not get what you're paying for. I am CAT 6a with 1 gbps svc. Barely get 200. Stuck at 98 yesterday.

[@Blackdog4818]

All 3 of my devices, YTTV, Phone and computer get about 80-90 mbs. I've gotten new cords from the wall, replaced the jack. The wire itself is quite moldy. Ran a CAT 6 line and just my phone through Wifi right next to my router and got 250 mbs. Should be higher with a direct connection. They just put a new card in last Nov. 26th.

[@bb55555555]

and then don't forget to test your cable to make sure you did it right.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yep, you can see at the end my son is playing PS5 online and my master bedroom TV streamed beautiful 4K Video! Thank you for watching!

[@johnrhines3473]

I need like-minded friends who are willing to help each other run ethernet cables in their homes. I live in a two-story house, and with 75% of the basement finished, it's very difficult to run ethernet from the basement to the rest of the house. It would be fantastic to have multiple runs to the garage, first-floor walls and ceiling, second-floor walls and ceiling, and the attic. It would be great to have ceiling-mounted access points and position PoE cameras on the corners of my house. Perhaps I could sell a kidney to help fund new construction.

[@UltimateTechHub]

@johnrhines3473 It's really not that hard if you just plan it out and go from one room to the next. If your ISP is in the basement then your only goal is to rum 1 ethernet or 2 etherent to the first floor. Your just drilling through drywall and 2 by 4s. After you get the ethernet to the first floor then you can plan the next steps to the 2nd floor and garage. Planning is the key. Also call a. Low voltage installer to help you and learn what he is doing so you can replicate it.

[@bb55555555]

if only it were really that simple.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Lol! Yes I did get a little lucky! thank you for watching!

[@bb55555555]

@@UltimateTechHub I've been doing this exact thing in my own house and I've run into all kinds of problems. There's always the possibility of drilling in the wrong spot. Also there could have been existing wiring and plumbing that the cable could have tangled up with. I get that you are trying to create a gaming station but there's only one screen and you obviously have more than one kid so everyone has to share. the better solution is to get HDMI extenders and put all of the gaming consols in the server room. That way you can use any tv in the house. I'm working on such a setup as we speak.

[@lesmoor001]

american houses are made of cardboard and are easy run cables through all the gaps

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes American walls are hollow and drywall is pretty easy to cut through! UK has brick walls which are a huge pain to run wires through. Thank you for watching!

[@thegreyangel-d6u]

You have the right tools but not the skill or experience. Dropping down network cables through a COMPLETELY hollow wall? Ever heard of a snake? What house doesn't have walls with insulation and no cross beams?

[@UltimateTechHub]

@thegreyangel-d6u Thanks for the compliment !! I'm not a professional but it looks like a professional did it and that's all that matters. That particular wall faces the shower in our bathroom so no firestop. Thank you for watching and for commenting !
