[Hidden-tech] know anyone who can pull ethernet 1 floor to home ofc & test the thruput? -- THANNKS!

Many thanks for the very useful response to this query!  BTW, regarding
wireless, even though it's a wood frame house, it seems the old plaster
walls and ceilings could have silica in them, which I gather may somewhat
inhibit wireless transmissions.  Dunno for sure, but I like wired
speed/security.

Need a little advice.  On the 2nd floor of our home, I've got a TM402P
Touchtone telephony & data modem from Comcast, and a Data-Link 524 router.
I need to shift my home office to a better work space in the house.  To do
this, I need to run an Ethernet cable directly through a hole drilled
between the floors (not threaded through the ancient plaster wall) from the
2nd floor to the 3rd floor, do the end clips, and then test the results for
good throughput.  I need hardwire linkage for best throughput and security,
and can't move the modem and router to the 3rd floor because that would kill
wireless to the 1st floor (I've been advised by my 29-year partner in life
that it's a family decision that there shall be no holes drilled down into
the 1st floor for network cables).  Comcast said that a licensed electrician
should do all the Ethernet work.  Is that information correct, and does
anybody have suggestions for who might do that work in the college-streets
area of Holyoke?

 

Thanks very much,
