This video will show you how to hardwire the internet to your unfinished basement and avoid Wifi issues or the need for a booster. You’ll see strategies for running your Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable from your router to a signal splitter in your basement, and running cable throughout your basement space to where you need it. You’ll also see an approach to retrofitting hardwired internet into a finished room. All in under 5 minutes!
I’m finishing the basement in our 40-year old home, and videoing each step along the way in a future Maker Space. I am NOT a pro - just a self-sufficient DIYer finishing my basement on a budget. I've leveled the concrete and converted an old garage door threshold into an exterior door and window, completed framing and pulled wire for electrical. Now I’m installing hardwired internet prior to hanging drywall. I could totally hire a pro to come in and do this for me, but why hire it out when I can build it on a budget myself???
