Hi folks,I've never posted in this fine forum, but I've certainly browsed it a lot from time to time.I'm about to start building a new house in February and have been doing some thinking about our home network.I have VERY little networking experience but I want to ensure we get a good, future-proof setup in our new home.We will wire for Ethernet (Cat 6) and have fibre installed.There will be a large central utility cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and ventilation system, and I'm thinking it would make sense to put the network distribution cabinet in there too, as it should allow for good wireless signal around the house (approx 200m2, incl. double garage).I guess I'm looking for advice on how to best go about setting the cabinet and network up (I like stuff to be neat and tidy). I also have a NAS and I'm not sure whether that needs to go into/near the cabinet or whether I could plug it into an outlet somewhere else in the house.About the only thing I'm sure about at this point is that I need a plastic cabinet, as metal ones are no good for wifi signal!Any advice much appreciated. Cheers
