As the sun was setting and the sky was clearing the Sudbury River was aglow with spring color. It made me feel very fortunate that we live where we do. Work on the new house is progressing well. I spent a good bit of the day planning the location for Wi-Fi access points and then running a CAT6 cable to each location. I imported our floor plans into a signal strength modeling application and determined that 3 access points (2 on the 1st floor and 1 on the 2nd) would provide complete coverage for the house and garage with no dead spots. It is possible that we will get full home coverage with a single standard W-Fi router. For the cost of the cable and a couple of hours for installation, it is cheap insurance if we need to enhance coverage. Since every light switch in the house is a Wi-Fi node, it is pretty important that signal reach every corner of the structure.
