When you buy a new home or build your own there are many more steps than their used to be. One of the most important, in my mind, is building your home and taking care to install the perfect network for your needs as you go. This is certainly not an easy process but taking the time to set everything up, prior to completion of the house (or prior moving into a new home) can save you a life-time of hassles. Tom Higgins (of Tom's Hardware) recently completed the build-out of a brand new house and has now documented how they installed the perfect network to meet each of their needs.
