ok then you've already decided you need the cat6 so the real question is, how long until you realise it was a poor decision?

hosed if I know one is a Samsung and the dryer is a haier but we hardly use that because of all the sunshine plus the deep freeze was the cheapest one available in its size at the local mitre 10

yes install a cat6 in your laundry. even if you can't find a internet washing mashine you can at least put in a webcam and use it to check if your laundry is done.

fiber equipment costs 10x as much as copper and doesn't provide any benefit over short distances (cat6a can do 10GB ethernet over 100m and regular cat6 can get away with it if you don't care about standards)

this is dumb because unless you get a weatherproof box you're subjecting your gear to way more moisture/lint than it really needs

at my old house the laundry room was at the center of the first floor and it had unfinished walls so I wired everything via that and put the router in there

sadly no one makes a decent router lint trap

actually all that stuff is in the laundry room at my new house too, it's a bigger room tho and is more a storage room with laundry machines than a laundry room per se
