This is great. Will investigate.

This is super cool. I've never heard of this until now. I'm 99% sure there are coax run through at least most of the rooms.

I won't be doing major remodeling. Don't have the budget (or the time). The house is in good shape thankfully. I'm mostly interested in figuring out the network situation.

Thanks good stuff.

Good tip on going into the attic/under the roof. I'll have an attic in this place so maybe that's the best option to run the wires.

I've patched drywall a handful of times. I'm good enough at it that I can get it done it just takes me longer than it should hahaha.

In terms of what I want... It's going to be 2 work from home stations/desks. These won't move. A gaming setup (this is what I want hard wired the most).

But I also want to have a drop in each bedroom - just in case.

Fiber is not an option. I'll be getting a cable connection (spectrum). I'm hoping fiber comes to the area soon and I can switch.

 

I will be moving into a new house in a few weeks. It's an older house (built in the 60s) and hasn't had much updates in terms of wiring. I want to be able to run a hardwire cable to each bedroom to maximize my Internet performance. My wife works from home and I'm hybrid, so I want to ensure we're not just flying on WiFi.

Are there any resources or how tos that can give me some information on where to start? What to look for? What to do first?

I'm struggling with figuring out what I should try to tackle. Should I just run an Ethernet line to the room that's an office and start there? Or is there some well thought out approach I can make?

I know this is probably vague, but any assistance would be appreciated.

Should make for some fairly entertaining games.

No their app is free. You can access via your phone and on the web. Fyi music control on the Garmin is a bit clunky, but it works.

The 255 is also MIP and is basically the same as the one I have (265). The 265 swapped out the display for an amoled display.

That sounds cool. You've got a much higher technical acumen than me.

I think the forerunner 55 is MIP. It's not a smart watch and it's their base level running watch. I had one before I upgraded to the 265 and I loved it. Off the top of my head, I know it gives you sleep data, heart rate, data, stress level data, a HRV, VO2 max. Max. Maybe some other things. Along with the standard steps and Miles moved or kilometers moved.

I tried jellyfin but didn't like it. Currently using emby and it works well.

 

I searched around and I couldn't find a way to cast my laptop running mint to my TV. For reference, I am aware that I can cast to Chromecast supported devices through chrome, but my TV is an LG and it does not support Chromecast.

Does anyone have a method to cast my desktop to an LG TV?
