So, I'm toying with the idea of running Ethernet through the whole house (Yes, everything is wireless these days! but I like hardwired, and also want to install in-wall AP's).
My basement is suited, the ceiling is completely drywalled and covered, so I can't easily run Ethernet within the walls.
A previous owner has installed coax cables in multiple rooms, and all that cabling is run externally, so I want to piggy back off those runs using outdoor Ethernet cable.
Problem is, I want to run all these cables into the basement storage room (separate from the suite), and to access it from outdoors would require drilling through concrete. Is this a bad idea? I'm wondering if I can get someone to drill and install a conduit into the basement. Any major concerns I should be thinking of here? insulation issues w/ conduit introducing more cold air into the basement? code issues? something I'm clearly missing that would make this a bad idea?
Follow up question assuming this isn't a terrible idea...anyone recommend any contractors/business they've worked with to do this work?
