Re: My Structured Cable Wiring Project and Home Network!
Here is the entire cabinet, modem, alarm box and UPS for the network gear | 
The network cabinet. | 
Picture of the WAP with POE |
Essentially, the network is a Linksys RV016 Router, a Dell PowerConnect 2716 Gigabit switch, and a Linksys WAP 2000 wireless access point with Power Over Ethernet (one more to set up). Pretty simple but it runs well.
The cable modem is for both data and phone and I have the phone only to two drops (blue cables). The drops using orange patch cable are for the four drops next to the alarm box and the four near the floor (mainly will be used for printer and NAS). The remaining patch cables go to the other drops and will go to the two WAP 2000's. I only have one up now, but will be installing another upstairs on the opposite side of the house using a wall drop already in existence. This should give me coverage throughout and the ability to roam.
Any thoughts or comments about what I could do differently (including the illegal wiring) or make it better would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing all your pictures, I really got allot out of seeing everyone's ideas and incorporated a few in my design.
