Looking for home networking company recommendations

I just had CAT6 cables installed in the house as we were doing renovations. The cables are all in and the electrician has left it at that.

Can anyone recommend a networking company that can finish the job?

My plan was to have my UPC modem wired to a switch. This switch would then connect to the CAT6 around the house. It would also provide power and internet to a ceiling mounted wireless access point. The wires are all in but there are no connections on the end of any of them.

Thanks.

I had the same problem when my house was renovated. I got hold of an insertion tool and finished the job myself - it was much easier than I had imagined.

Why cant you do it yourself? Doesn't sound anyway complicated and you know what you want to do already.

Because I honestly don't have a clue about the hardware side of things. I know what I want to achieve but not how to do it.

All you need is a switch with PoE to power your wireless access point.

I already have the switch with PoE sockets but no way to connect it. The cabling has been left with no connections on the ends.

All you need to do is buy the following (at very reasonable prices!!)

Cat5/6 Connectors

Crimping tool

It really is quite simple and quick to do.
