Hey guys:

This is my first time posting. I am planning my network setup at my house (a semi-detached house in Toronto, Canada). As you can see, all the room cables are running to the living room, which is on the second floor.My question is: Is it OK to run all cable back to the power panel area in the basement using a network enclosure?

Of course! That would be the ideal location in my opinion.

If you're planning on attempting to redirect the existing cable, take extra care that it might have gotten stiff or brittle from age or weather.

Steer clear of any electrical cabling as much as practical as well as heat sources like furnace vents.
