Just to check with you guys, how much did your ID/contractor charge you for electrical work? My quotation is $2100, reasonable or not huh?

there should be a breakdown.

eg.

single power socket = $?

doublle power socket = $?

tel point = $?

SCV point = $?

lighting point = $?

etc

i think SCV point is around $110

single power socket around $50

double power socket aroun $60

lighting point around $60

how much is the cat 6 data point ? i am quoted $120 per point

[Vct 30]

I did not do any data point, im getting the Aztech homeplug, the plug uses your home electrical wiring to run like the internet wire therefore saving money on wiring. Just plug in, configure a little bit, works exactly the same as normal wire.

Not happy with the location? Unplug it, plug in where u want it to be. No need to re-configure. Move house? Yes bring it along. Per plug is about $60+

You should do the data points. I explained in some detail in my blog. You will regret later if you don't do it now.

Homeplugs are not reliable. Over the long run, they are also more expensive.

Yup did read your blog about it and I do agree with you to a certain extend depending on the house layout. My workstation is located just beside my router so no issue there. The other 2 points which requires internet are my tv/android media hub , one in room the other also beside router.

So maybe im lucky dont really require data point, if yes maybe one will do in my room. Anyhow, 5 yrs later im moving off so.....

I see alot of recommendations about data points around..

Is it because mostly you guys use the internet to play games / stream / download stuff so need super fast connection that won't lag?

Just wanted to check because hubby & I know nothing about these and have been using normal wireless router our entire lives and not sure if we should be concerned about the data points for our new home

Normal surfing I don't think you need Data point. That's for direct connection. Correct me if I am wrong....... I opted out those points also

Using direct connection is more stable and faster. Depending on the design of your flat and placement of your AP (WIFI router), you may not be able to receive signal or even weak signal in certain area in your flat.

If the place that you will be using your laptop is line of sight to the Wifi router and no blockage in between, then should be ok.

Thanks, think I have the correct understanding then

For the wifi router blockage, if we are not particular about the speed, using the wi-fi range extender can help?

wifi extender can help to extend the coverage, but i think you need a power source (ac socket) for it.
