I have ran ran cat5e through the crawl space to feed both TV's in the bedroom and the living room and it works great.
I still have a problem with the wireless signal. As expected the bedroom gets a very weak wireless signal since the wireless router in on the other end of the house. I tried an Linksys RE1000 range extender will not much luck. I still had a poor signal and it was going in and out. I just tried a Netgear XAVB5001 powerline adapter but couldnt get it to work, most likely due to the old wiring in the house.
My next step is to try a wired access point in the bedroom. I'm planning to run cat5 from the router in the office to an access point in the bedroom. My questions are:
What's the best access point I should buy?
Can the access point share the same cat5e cable as the roku box (tv) that's hooked up now?
Is this the best solution, because the crawl space is not a fun place to be!
