I just want to point out that the recommendations in this thread are suggestions for best placement of the WiFi device no matter if it's from Quantum, Centric, Cable, or even if you use your own WiFi system. There are other placements in the home that will also work fairly well. Again the coverage you get will depend on the type of building materials used, block, tilt wall, or stick built, plus the size and room layout of your specific home.
I was also reading a couple of studies done concerning wireless vs wired internet in your home and the studies show with the newer WiFi mesh devices available today, depending on your specific needs, the devices are so good and easy to install by the averager consumer that there is no need to wire your home with ethernet any more. I agree with this from my experience but if I have an ethernet jack by my desktop computer or TV, I would probably connect it hardwired just because it's there for any extra reliability. If not, wireless would be fine.
