In this context, your main bottleneck will be always your NBN connection. PS. And Wi-Fi 7 with speeds up to 40 Gbit/s is already on its way. that's not true. NBN may not even be in play when you transfer large volumes of data between a PC and a NAS for example. or have multiple people trying to stream different things from NAS. modern PCs/routers come with 2.5Gb LAN ports nowadays. i think it's only TVs that are lagging behind on 100Mbit, but until you get into 8k streaming you're probably ok with 100. also those WiFi speeds of 9.6Gbit/s number you're quoting would be total combined bandwidth across all channels. which is shared by all devices. also in ideal conditions at a particular distance from the router. totally different ball game when you're at the other end of the house from the router. of course one could get into mesh networks to fix those problems, but mesh repeaters would also benefit from a fixed cable connection if you don't want to have lots of them. Re: Prewiring a House for Data, CCTV, and Future-Proofing 20Jul 11, 2023 7:39 pm Well, if TV just needs 100 Mbit, then 9.5 Gbit/s can easily handle a dozen of TVs simultaneously. How many do you need for your NAS? Netflix streams 4K/UltraHD at only 15 Mbps, by the way. And yes, mesh network is an absolute must for big house. It worked for me in getting all non notified rain days removed from the builders claim, although the LDs was only $50/day 7 6166 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 16772 Brass fly wire, you will need to cut it, shape it and jam it into brick slots 1 7736 |
