Connectivity

Structured wiring

Structured wiring isn't affordable for every room, but we recommend that the Browns install it in a few

rooms upstairs, in addition to the living room and office downstairs.

Wireless

With an 802.11g wireless router in their first-floor office, the Browns can also have wireless connectivity in

the bedrooms. 802.11g has a maximum usable indoor range of 150 feet. But if you're having trouble

stretching your router's wireless signal to various parts of the house, there are several things you can do.

(See "Outdoors

.")

A.Music Media Receivers

The Browns want houseguests to be able to listen to music, so we recommend a media receiver

specifically for audio. Music receivers that have LCDs on the front panel or on the remote, such as the

ones listed below, are ideal, because they don't need to be connected to a PC to scroll through playlists.

And by connecting powered speakers or a headset to such a device, you can carry the receiver to other

rooms, playing music anywhere as long as you're within range of your wireless network and have access to

an electrical outlet.
