here we go um it's funny I did back when I moved into my old house it was a rental and it had it had an 8 like a an access panel for the networking in the house because it had plugs and stuff throughout the house and I did a video showing how I set all that up how I wired a switch and everything in there and since then anytime we move one of the most common comments we get is hey Joe you're gonna do another networking setup video well it's time welcome to Jay's $0.02 to do networking featuring cuz if we went cat 5 you'd never let me hear the end of it today's video is brought to you by Nord VPN a VPN service I have been using for years now like you wouldn't walk around with a with your precious expensive cell phone without a case on it would you okay I guess plenty of you do

we work off of Wi-Fi a lot out here like with our phones and stuff when we're doing things like in a pinch for like crap we got to download this 20 gig game upload or update and stuff even though we can get a good solid 600 ish megabits per second download on Wi-Fi here on Wi-Fi AC nonetheless which is amazing that we can get 600 down there router and their Wireless that they gave us real sex so we're gonna try to improve that situation today by mounting my Nighthawk out here running wire out of the office back out to here and having a switch and all sorts of stuff because not only are we preparing for obviously having our shop stuff hooked up to wired Internet we are also gonna be setting up ingest stations and all that sort of stuff and a server and all of that but a server doesn't serve too good if they don't have internet to serve through or even a connection for land so that's what we're getting on Wi-Fi right now on fast com this is actually Netflix the server this isn't bad but I mean we pay for we pay for a thousand right so we should at least be getting our eight or nine hundred am I really complaining about this yes because because their hardware sucks because we're dealing with dropouts and we're dealing with restarts and I don't know if it's just getting overworked but if Phil is downloading big files or something and I'm trying to do something out here or as I'm a conference call actually the other day and it dropped out on me like four times so obviously we we haven't done anything with our quote-unquote editing and yet we got a fan and air compressor in the white and gold build all right so my idea here was that I could just shove this thing backed up through there I had them I have to make that doesn't make that hole bigger cuz the end is not gonna fit through right yeah he did exactly what I thought you did he just screwed it into the drywall see just like yeah oh man they charge a premium for these installs and then they do this I technically could have just gone up here - oh no no that's not a problem the problem is that he drilled that hole go no the honest truth cuz he could've just hit that wall right and oh my god it I'm and I'm the idiot and who drills it straight to the drywall using a freakin wood screws this is the wrong kind of box for this there's different types of boxes you can get for these sorts of things and what you should be putting in a drywall box like this are the ones that when you tighten it up the arms go whoop and they open up so then it can't pull out let's go to Home Depot because now we can get the stripper dead wire stripper yeah why not got some ones all right so we just win and got the correct box so this is what they use and I mean it just makes me feel bad that an amateur like myself can do a better job than somebody that was paid to do this so this is the box we would put in something like this if you're only anchoring it to the drywall these little tabs go down like this and then as you tighten up these screws the tabs come out and then they will pinch like that so that's how it's gonna end up being in the wall and then what I did was I got a blank plate cover to cover up the ugly hole that the cable installer did so let's go ahead and get this set up now I also have this fish tape I have to get the coaxial or another coaxial but the cat6 up through the ceiling and then throw it over the restroom through the drop ceiling that's what's called drop ceiling fail don't step on any of this we're going back to Home Depot for the third time today No well that's two ladders in one okay go ahead right here in the video that's when you find Sam Jason okay try not to cut myself on any of the sharp metal up here I know what's going to be like going sideways yeah we clearly hit something there's so much fiberglass for you hey yeah teamwork after you put the camera down and you came out here it worked well so here's the end of the fish tape coming up through the wall and now I'm gonna take this coil and I'm just gonna throw it over the other there are good we're fine Phil relax they got a little tag-along yeah alright so now I'm just gonna tape this to our fish tape and then we can pull this end back here nito there see what happens when you do it the right way so I want to talk about something real quick in this build series where we worked on our own stuff there's been a couple of comments of like Jay what why are you doing this yourself Jay you can afford a contractor why why are you why are you wasting your time you could be making content so the irony about those comments being made on a video you're watching saying that we're not making content while doing the thing that we were making content while doing I'm a DIY er if you haven't noticed by now I DIY everything that I can so that's why we do this and plus some people learn some things along the way and I've had some people comment that hey this video was really helpful you actually taught me something I've always kind of wondered so that's why we do it it takes longer but we make content while we're doing it we save money while we're doing it it's fun I'll be honest it's fun alright let's go ahead and pull up a schematic for cat6 cuz I don't know it off the top of my head and it's put some ends and you can see where the cable comes down this is where I threw it over and you can see that this is where they just kind of stapled into the wall will sort of be doing the same thing the only cable they had for cat6 was blue I would have gotten white but they had B so yeah let's do it so we should just be able to go like boop boop boop boop hey that's okay because you need to actually go farther because we've got feed-through plugs cat6 two cables for these are going to the permanent core so since network cable is twisted-pair and it's that even whether it be cat 5 or cat 6 the colors are pretty much all right so it doesn't matter if it's cat 6 or cat 5e they're all twisted-pair so you've got obviously you've got a color and then a colored stripe that matches and so the order of these pairs does indeed matter now we're gonna be doing the was it 56b t568b specification it doesn't really matter I don't believe on either end at least the way I've always done these is as long as it's the same on both ends hell these strippers are taking all my money I was just saying it doesn't always done it in the past is long than the same on both ends there's different types of plugins that you can get to and the ones that are the most difficult in my opinion to work with are the ones that you have to cut off like just have a quarter-inch showing because then you have to have them all flattened in the right angle and push it all the way in hope it's seated all the way and crimp it down well these are feed through which means that the wires are gonna feed right through the connector and stick out the other end and I can put it down as far as I need and then when I crimp it it'll cut off the excess so that's the way I'm doing it my first time trying feed through I've always I've always seen it I never used it because I it's been a while since I've had to make any cables we got 100 foot of cat 6 and it's funny we could have gotten away with cat 5 just fine because the difference between cat 6 and cat 5 is signal loss over distance and both are capable of 10-gigabit in these distances of which our cable runs are so we could have got away the cat 5 just fine I swear to God I only spent more money to do cat 6 to fend off some of the comments I guarantee we would get if we didn't do cat 6 like I swear to God I caved and I hate myself for it I hate myself as much as I hate the person out there that would comment wing here kqs which one ticks so anyway I guess we both lose right supportive July 10th ain't anything I did it you're not helping felt like I said in our lecture our electric wiring video some electricians out there's like you guys we do this and some network guys out there just like judge my sleep alright there's our orange stripe next with that these are orange good yet now that network engineer is commenting yeah we have to make cat six uphill both ways in the snow Oh mother easy one try yes I know I could have gotten the 110 type I just don't like that one oh cos J likes this one so much burgers that's why yeah that's it alright so we do have a switch that's gonna go in here the switch will then plug into that which will go out to the studio the nighthawk will be out into the studio and then we'll have to run off the Nighthawk switch to like probably another switch in the studio so it's maybe I switch to switch to switch but that's okay it'll still work perfectly fine it's because it's solid you can like straighten out the strands pretty easy easy we have this much more cable that we can make ends with four cables with if we need to so let me move my tools plug in the Nighthawk and see if it works oh wait we don't have an Internet light of 505 and yea we don't have internet why all the connectors everything is there well okay fill happen to point out I was using the coaxial stripper and not the actual RJ stripper so we think I may have accidentally cut through a cable or a wire or two or a pair or something so we're just gonna redo both ends now alright so I scan all right well I redid the ends on both yeah we have Internet so here we go nice alright let's test it on the laptop I don't think we need to deploy Wi-Fi 6 in our environment so we need to finish now by tacking down the wire haha alright here's the test do we get neck tivity light and yes this is a cat5 cable i know i sell to make the other ones but i'm not doing that today i couldnt tired impact100 yeah all right so we're gonna be shooting a hundred feet of cable to go from here to here because I don't have a short cable yet and I want to make another one yet because this is all just temporary my cables too hot man do you know what this does to my cable management brain the point of this video is so that we can make sure everything works that our cables work that our Wi-Fi works that our switch works at all that stuff works before we go and waste any time setting up our desks and stuff because obviously we just set up our office here okay everything's set up with that stupid hundred foot cable but it all works so Wireless works the wired works we are good to go so all it's left to do now is to go in and reset the SSID and make sure everything's configured do some channel searching to make sure everything is there's no interference and stuff nearby but we have now got the foundation for our network setup set here now I know one of the common question here's gonna be a bit J what about your server what about your server room your server rack you know I'm not lying it's tech tips I don't have a server room and I have a server record I'll have a walnut' server and all that stuff so we're a small operation we literally have two people right now that actually work on videos and 90% of it's done through Phil and so we will probably have literally a server machine kind of probably sitting over there on the floor I don't know we'll figure that all out when the time comes worst case scenario - it'd probably end up being in the room with Phil in the office hooked up to that 10 G that 10 gig so out 10 gig all local right there to each other and then what we'll have over here or somewhere is just an in gestation so that we're working on something we have a new project going you take the card out let it ingest into the server and he'll be working off the server moving forward thanks for watching this video again these work vlogs are about getting work done and experiencing doing it ourself obviously and you guys might learn something along the way like us misusing that stripper which was causing me a problem misuse mistreated that stripper man that's so bad that's so terrible Phil I can't I wasn't even thinking that it was you send your angry letters to Phil all right I'm gonna go guys thanks for watching and we will we'll see in the next time by the time you see this I'm probably in the Bahamas Wow humble brag would hey I've never taken a vacation like that
