Internet Wiring

The Modem/Router in the Office is set up at http://192.168.1.254.

The TV is connected by Ethernet cable to an Asus RT-N56U Wireless Router located at the Bar and fed from a Gigabit Cat 6 cable by the principal Billion Modem/Router in the Office.

The RT-N56U router is set up at http://192.168.1.100 and has a Nework Attached Storage 3TB disk.

Various other old TV outlets are located throughout the house, but the wiring is very poor quality. One that I have got working is in the Kitchen. A small TV (Kogan KALED19XXA) there is fed from a cable that had been chased into the brick wall; it comes from the lower roof cavity near the air conditioner outlet for the Kitchen. The TV requires a signal stronger than could be supplied by the main antenna through two splitters. A second antenna (32 Element Log Periodic) and amplifier (Kingray MHW34G) were installed in the lower roof cavity to do the job. The power injector for the amplifier is located next to the TV.
