Ask Slashdot: How Would You Build a Home Network To Fully Utilize Google Fiber?

kstatefan40 writes I am closing on a house next week which is connected to Google Fiber. I am ecstatic to have a gigabit connection, but the previous homeowner had them install the jack in an awful location. I'm going to be in a situation where I am paying for more than I can technically achieve over wireless. I have purchased a couple of 600mbps powerline adapters, but those still won't fully use the gigabit connection. Is there a better way to achieve a truly gigabit internal connection without substantial structural or wiring modifications?

    Just put ethernet everywhere, it's not that much work. I asume the house you're moving into will be empty anyway.

    And the answer is an unqualified 'no.'
