[mananhiteshkataria]

My country India recently got giga fiber I have it in my place ? but I had to install router in an inconvenient position as I had made a new home just few months back did not wanna drill again. ? 

 

Anyway how can I extend this network through my entire home it is a 4000 sq feet 6bhk flat very confused on how to do this ?

 

Any suggestions welcome 

Thanks ?

Networking cable

Bring the cables in to the house from a different position

Use a lot of networking cable and drill through the walls

As I clearly said is there an option without doing that ?

Power line? Only clean method but will vary with speeds and cut your speed down. Or a super long cat5e/6 cable

Probably, but it won't be anywhere near as reliable.

For fiber internet? Do the "unnecessary" drilling and enjoy your speeds.

 

Doing two or three runs is enough for most homes: one run to the living room where the entertainment center is, one for the main desktop, and one for an additional access point upstairs.

 

For wireless: deploy one or two access points, mount them in strategic places near where your devices are going to be used.

 

Be creative with the cabling: you can often make use of baseboards and existing passages to hide/run your cables.

 

Wireless range extenders, mesh networks (fancy range extenders) and powerline adapters are all a bit meh solutions.

You run a cable along the wall and use use some of these to keep it in place:

What do you want exactly?

You got an apartment and want Internet access everywhere? What kind of Internet access? Wireless or wired?

Since you don't want to drill my guess is wireless, but a single access point won't give you good coverage in this scenario. You're gonna need at least 2, preferably more for good signal quality. For that you are going to need to run at least two cables. Just use some cable hooks and run them across the walls (along the wall trip or in the ceiling).

 

There is no other (good) solution. You need cables.

 

Powerline = Very hit and miss. In some houses is works decently, and in some it is awful.

WiFi mesh = Just flat out bad.

Single access point = Won't be enough coverage.

Thank you for reply I was thinking of mesh network like Google wifi ? use one LAN wire connect to one router than disabling my original router WiFi and running on lan
