When wiring my house for CAT5, how can I run the cable from the basement to the main and second floors?
I have decided to wire my house for ethernet, so that I have no trouble streaming 1080p video from a centralized server, which I would like to have in the basement. How would I go about getting the cables to the main floor and second floor, and then, from that point, to the necessary rooms?
I’ve been reading guides online, and some recommend a main floor coat closet with a conduit. This is doable, as behind the baseboard (I’m doing floors so these aren’t installed) there is a small open space to the boiler room in the basement. However, from this point, there are two problems. How do I run the cable to the two or three points I want on the main floor, and how do I go up through the ceiling to the second floor? Right above the coat closet is a hallway.
If I can find a way to get upstairs, maybe I can go all the way to the attic, and distribute upstairs that way. But the main floor is still a mystery to me.
Finally, do builders use any conduit for telephone/coaxial cable wiring? I have outlets for those in most rooms, I wonder if it would be possible to use that to my advantage.
Thanks so much.

Whats a rough estimate to upgrade electrical in an old house?
3 bedroom, 1 bath, about 1400 sf. Need to upgrade from 60 to 200amps. Run new wiring and outlets to all rooms, also run Cat5e and coax to every room.
Also if anyone knows a good electrician in Brooklyn to do the job.

What is the difference between a Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 Cable?
Is 30m cat5e cable too short to notice speed loss with the internet + network comm's?
I have a 30m cat5e cable going into my router downstairs, theres about 10 meters of unused wire just being looped by the router, but i dont want to cut it because it was the rj45‘s already on as its a belkin pre made one… will i be noticing any loss of speed with the internet or network communications because of it being so long?
