Cat6 pre install wiring
I asked this earlier on the wrong forum I think. My Telus installer is coming in a week and I want to run Cat6 to the attic two stories up for a network closet. There, I’ll have the router/modem. Not...

No instal yet. Just pre wiring the Cat6. I was trying to not use MoCa devices. The attic location is generalized as there’s a closet just below the attic when I can set up a “network” shelf. I’ll run the tv’s off wifi for now and once I get closet finished after the Telus install I’ll wire each room with Cat6. I guess the installer will figure the initial install and I can go from there. It’s all a bit confusing. And some installer will talk and help you with your goals, others will be minimal I’d imagine. Perhaps the moca adapters will suffice. Seems like a lot of moca devices.

As I understand it, Telus will allot a 2 1/2 hour window for the installer to accomplish the tasks. At least that's what I was told when they did ours. We decided just where was best for all my hardware equipment and cabling to route, and they did a fantastic job of getting the fibre termination to just where I needed it..
The rest was easy after that... Have a chat with the installer, outline what you want to accomplish, I've nothing but a great relationship with the installers that I had to deal with...most of them are geeks, and enjoy this stuff as well as the challenge... Cheers...
