A cheap way to run ethernet through your whole house (assuming you are like me and don't use cable TV anymore) is to utilize the existing coax outlets across the house. Pull the cover off, tape the ethernet run(s) to the existing coax, and pull it up through the ceiling or floor. Then switch the coax plate with a couple keystones.

As mentioned: as standard practice most electricians are going to be stapling cables everywhere so using an existing cable to pull a new cable through....just isn't possible anymore. If you don't have a cookie cutter house and built your own or your house is old: then yeah that might be possible. If you really want to be friendly to your future self: run some 1 inch conduit and put the cables through there. A one inch conduit could easily fit at least 8 Ethernet cables , 4 HDMI cables, or quite a bunch of speaker cable.

Thanks for posting this video. Going through the attic was not really a good option for me. But after seeing your video, I was able to successfully make 8 runs in my house earlier this Spring to wire the masterbedroom, two kids' bedrooms, living room, and dining area after re-watching and studying your video. While it was a bear to crawl underneath the house, I am glad I did it especially now that my kids' schools will be from home due to the pandemic.

The little nylon string is used for stripping the jacket, as using the cable-stripper alone can damage the underlying copper wires. You expose the nylon string, then pull down on the string to "tear" through the jacket, rather than cutting the jacket with a blade.

Great demo. The crawl space is not that common in a lot of places in the U.S., but most of the principles you showed still apply. Those fishing rods are very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

4:45 I would recommend using a “spotter rod” , snip the straight long portion from a wire coat hanger and using a drill with the spotter rod in the chuck, bore through the floor as close to the footboard. Go back down to the crawl space/basement measure an 1 1/2” to 2” (4-5 cm) into the wall cavity and drill your hole out for your wiring. I do this all the time for running new thermostat wiring.

On the mud ring or the low voltage box, there are 4 tiny holes located at every corner. Use these holes as a template to mark the hole you are about to cut.

For the most part getting a spool of cat 6a will cost you around $214, connectors will cost you around $12, wall plate $14, the tools for stripping and pushing will cost you probably around $15 to $25 or more if you want high quality equipment for day to day use. The drill and knife, most people have especially if you’re handy and thus have the guts to do this yourself. The cost for doing it yourself will cost you around $265-$300 depending on the quality of materials you’re using. The average cost in my area in the Bay Area in California is to run cable by a pro is $1,000 to $1,500 for 4 rooms with cat 6 cable (and this is only at a length of 250’). The electrician will charge anywhere from $65 to $85 per hour, and then you have to pay for the cost of materials. The price of one run by a pro for one room costs about the same as you getting the tools to do it yourself, plus you’ll have an endless supply of cable for redoing the rest of your network. The cost in your area may vary, so check here for the cost in your area: www.fixr.com/costs/hardwired-computer-network

You're looking at more like 30-40 bucks for good quality 6a cable. 60 for 150ft. Basically your 265-300 bucks is what I would call the "don't shop around" cost. If you shop around that's an easy 80-100 bucks. So it's even cheaper than you thought. No one should use an electrician to do low-voltage running of wire, that's overkill. For me, this project cost me 30 bucks because I don't even care about 6a or needing those speeds.

Tip from a pro: In situations where using fish sticks is required to fish the wall, locate the lv-1 hole on the other side of the stud from the power, and dead next to it. This way you can ride the stud down and find your fish stick easily.

One word of advice. If you are going to do this, make sure you spend a little extra money and get a good quality cable such as a cat 6 or better cable if there is something. Even if something doesn't exist now that the wire supports, it may in the future. And by putting in the best quality now can save you headaches later on by not having to go through this again. Especially if you had to go through the hassle of fishing wires because you didn't have easy access to where you ran your wires. When doing a permanent installation such as this. It's better to plan ahead for future possibilities than to be left behind. Also make sure the wires are suitable for in-wall use. I should say so on the package or stamped on the wire itself.

Can you use 1 etherent cable to connect 2 wall plates together, and use another cable to connect the wifi router and a wall plate together. Instead of connecting the other end of the cable directly to your router like you did??

Just a couple of things I'd like to mention. You identified where your wall studs were, but then did exactly opposite of what you should have done. Network cables should never be run in the same stud bay as a electrical work and should be at least 12 inches away. You should have gone to the right of the next stud over. Second, you don't use a razor knife for removing a wall plate screw. That's a good way to get a nice cut when it slips off the screw. It's also a good way to get a piece of metal in your eye when the point of the blade breaks off. Third, you do mention a drywall saw, but you aren't using one. You shouldn't use a razor knife for cutting finished drywall. It's extremely difficult to maintain safe control while cutting as you demonstrate while holding your bare hand in the path of the cut as you tried not to slip. Finally, you shouldn't use a drill to lock down a plaster ring. It's a great way to overtighten and break existing drywall.

Yeah, but I live in a cement house *.*

I do this professionally in commercial spaces all the time (there's usually a plenum so I drill down into each stud space from the top instead of the bottom), but I've been wondering how it could be done in residential as there's typically no plenum. Guess it's gotta be attic or crawlspace. Unfortunately my current place has neither lol Also, would definitely recommend the drywall saw over the utility knife

Wire tracks are very common in this case as the customer usually doesnt want you taking off the entire drywall which is what you would have to do.

Fantastic video

thanks for the tips, i saw ur video and tried it and it came out perfectly! my ps4 speed went from 39mps to 380mps sheeeesh

I'm not going to hit the dislike button, but this was too easy. Show us how to go from the 2nd story ceiling to 1st story on houses that don't have crawl spaces, just concrete slab.

That is much harder, you are correct, nothing wrong with starting easy. Going upstairs will be different for everyone. It's hard to make a video to cover the many different options, building designs, structures etc and keep the video short or interesting. If I add a jack in my upstairs, I can do a video on it.

If a cable run involves penetration concrete or masonry, you should probably be calling a professional.

Robert Dunham not concrete walls, concrete slab. No cutting that up especially if it's post-tension

I understand what you meant. The concrete should have been poured with conduits to allow for future expansion. If that was not done, the only option is to wrap the building or find some other way around the concrete. An outdoor wireless AP is also an option if the building has a lot of glass. A professional would be able to help determine what options are available and build a solution for the specific use-case. My point in my original comment was that it is clearly not DIY at that point.

Step 1: Make sure you have a house like that and doesnt have concrete walls

or red hardened WW2 bricks with cables concreted between.

I wish I had a patch panel in my house. Super cool.

There are wall plates available fitted with double ended RJ45 sockets. If you have the room to run cable with the plugs on it makes the job a whole lot faster.
