Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 10Aug 28, 2015 4:15 pm What is a home data pack? Also does anyone know much about installing provision for NBN? Not present in this area yet but we want to future proof. Our plan is to have a server rack in the garage with all CAT6 terminating there, as well as speaker cable. I'm going to install an amp, Synology 412+ NAS, PoE switch (so we can connect 5 IP security cameras), gigabit switch and an HD anywhere box (mHub 4K for UHD, FOXTEL, bluray to 4 TVs). The plan is to be able to watch media in HD or better from any TV in the house and to have music in any room. Synology have a native app for Samsung TVs so that makes it easy. All on high speed broadband for now, then NBN when it arrives. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 11Aug 28, 2015 4:55 pm We are in a nbn estate and had Metricon install a nbn home system, we also have data points throughout the house linked to tv ports and a couple of others in the study nook for direct access to the data point plus a wireless router. I have no idea if you can install all the extra bits and bobs you want to that system (my hubby does that, I'm a plug and play lady ) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the system in the garage Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ One of the data points in our sitting room.

Tribe, where did you place the wireless router in reference to the data box? build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 13Aug 28, 2015 5:20 pm Not sure yet Orpheus, we will get keys in the next 2 weeks and I think hubby was saying he is going to put the wireless router in the study nook as its the most central part in the house for service and we have a data point there too. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 14Aug 28, 2015 5:22 pm Oh that makes sense. Too bad we don't have a study room or nook as we converted it into a guest bdrm. I'm not sure where to place our wireless/broadband router?? build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 15Aug 28, 2015 5:32 pm Maybe on the top shelf inside your broom cupboard in the laundry, it's the most central location in your house and it's not something you really to look at anyway. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 16Aug 28, 2015 7:59 pm Thanks Tribe7 that's useful info. I'm hoping we can provision NBN even though it's not available in our area yet. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 18Aug 30, 2015 7:47 am Visited Studio M yesterday for a preview and selected 70% of our fittings and some colours. Not impressed by the appliances on offer, standard ones or upgrades. Has anyone had any luck with provisioning appliance spaces in the kitchen for installation after handover? Ideally we'd like to install our own European stuff, seems such a hassle to install what's on offer and then try and sell it on eBay! Why can't they just offer a wider range? Do M give any credit if you don't take their appliances? Considering upgrading AC to a premium inverter plus to get the touchpad controller, Skyzone. Any idea how much and whether it's worth it? Or can be done after handover?
