[Hidden-tech] Need a wiring person for small job

[David Haines]

Hi, you have confused me with the OP, Rich "the Webmaster"

As I said, certainly in Northampton (for example, but hardly an  
exception on this matter) most certainly for commercial operations,  
you are supposed to have such work done by a licensed Electrician  
(most do/are for networking).

I would also advise against wireless as a choice unless a wired  
option really isn't possible. I know that wireless is all the rage,  
but it can & does suffer from an overall greater number of issues/ 
hiccups in general and -will- add latency. How well wireless will  
work depends on many factors not the least of which is distance and  
building materials between the AP and client nodes.
