[ale] Future-proofing a house for networking -- what to run?

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

Network gear doesn’t always play nice together.   What’s worse is when you have issues the manufactures are apt to say “everything on our side is OK, it must be that other manufacture’s product”.  Of course the other manufacturer says exactly the same thing.

There is some benefit in having the same brand for all your network devices.

Pretty much. And all the seams leak air. So that joist bay is coolest or warmest point in the house.

We paid a contractor to upgrade our furnace and seal and insulate the duct runs to improve our efficiency. Apparently they didn't seal the joints but just insulated and foil taped the insulation. When the air is on, the insulation jackets puff up.

It's better than before only by tape. We used to keep the vents closed in the basement in winter. All the leaks kept it warm enough. Now we have adjust the vents.
