We have finalized a flat (3BHK) and I need help planning the networking in it.
There is a central panel located in the middle of the flat, in the hallway, where fiber optic comes in. I am assuming that's where my central router (Asus AC68U) will reside along with the cable modem. I am planning to get a 4U rack and gigabit switch that will go there. Gigabit is enough for me.
I am also planning to put my AC59Us in two of the bedrooms. I want them to have a wired back-haul.
Now comes the real concern.
The house is wired already through the walls such that,
Each bedroom and the living room get a co-axial connection, and a telephone connection (RJ11) each.
All of these connections terminate at the panel I mentioned above.
I want to keep one coaxial (for the living room, for live TV) and one telephone connection, also probably in the living room.
Are there any very slim Ethernet cables, that I can replace the Co-Axial cables in the wall with, by mashing 4 of them together so that they are nearly same thickness as the co-axial cable?
I really want more than one port in my bedroom at least, where I can connect my gaming PC, XBox, NAS and AC59U directly to the main switch (rather than through the AC59U). Thinking to get quad port faceplates that will replace the Co-Axial ports.
Is there any fiber-based solution that I should prefer more? Don't want to spend 10K+ for wiring.
