[quote=Anonymous]My husband just did this himself in a house we are building. It is much easier to do it new, rather than on an existing house, because it will require snaking wires through walls (many with insulation).

An electrician is the best person to do this, but it won't be cheap. They will have to run the wires in a separate location than your electrical wires, which will mean more holes in studs, drywall, floors, etc. The parts aren't expensive, but the labor will be.

Honestly I'd think about what you can accomplish with wireless, vs. hardwiring the entire house. For that, you could talk to an IT person like Geek Squad (but if you know someone a little higher up on the IT food chain, that'd be your best bet). I don't know why your wireless is 'buggy' or 'slow' but that has nothing to do with the fact that you have a wireless router and your house isn't hard-wired. Your incoming signal (from the line to your house) might be whacky and you should call your service provider to check that. Also it could be your router, or the line from where the internet wires come into your house to the place where your router is. Often houses aren't wired properly and this results in a loss of signal too.[/quote]
