Hi y’all,

I’m getting a new house built and builder has asked me if I want cat 5 connections installed. I am thinking of having these cat 5 ports installed where the tv’s will be and where my office will be. Wifi for rest of the devices. It’s a three story house. Would cat5 wiring be run separately from each port to a central location in the basement? Im guessing that my main internet line to the house will come into basement.

Would I install modem in the basement and individually connect all these cat5 wires into the modem? Do I require anything else from the builder side? Does a wifi booster need a cat5 port? Anything else you guys foresee I should get before the drywall goes in?

Sorry for the noob questions. House is in Canada if it matters (we have optic)

Thanks!

    You want cat 6 ran to all bedrooms, offices, backyard, garage, living room and family room. Minimum 1 run per room.

      This is the answer, if its a new build put it in every room, why not?
