What home networking can do for you

Often when we visit someone's home we find some Ethernet cables snaked around the home and its quite messy. However with a little planning and effort you can convert your home to one that is wired for networking. No more cables on ceilings, floors, and stairways. Instead simply plug your cable into a wall and you are networked. Home networking can increase your home value. That's right, when you go to sell your home, you can say it's wired for Ethernet. Modern, upscale homes now-a-days are pre-wired. So having a home for sale that is pre-wired, is a plus that will make your home more likely to sell for a higher premium.
