its because my laptop has a week antenna i thought about geting a pcmcia card but im not that worried about it
If you have a newer laptop, your wireless 'should' be good. That's because the back of the TFT has the antenna run across it to maximise surface area for reception. It in effect, works like a dish, to catch the signal.
Remember if you're running CAT5 through a plenum, to check what FT rating you need, also check with your insurance company. If you run it incorrectly, and there's a fire in your house which spreads, your insurance company 'can' deny your claim. Run in conduit if possible.
Out of curiosity, how do you 'major' in Cisco networking? Is this attached to a degree somehow, or do you mean like a CCNE. I'm curious to know because it's been a long time since I looked at certifications, and they seem to change all time. It would be neat if they could slot professional certs into degrees though, that would help the skills base a lot. Imagine how much easier it would be with a degree in Applied Computer Sciences with a Symantec Security qualification thrown in. NICE !
