  • If you can - run conduit in the walls, as then it’s super easy to pull different cables whenever you need them.

    I would personally avoid doing a switch per room and instead do multiple CAT5/6/7 drops per room that all route back to a central rack / router somewhere. It’s much easier to manage centrally and gives you a lot more flexibility as and when higher bandwidth stuff comes along.

    If your budget can stretch to it, really recommend the Ubiquiti range of networking gear, the POE switches are super reasonable and will massively reduce the number of power bricks you have to have around - you can find POE versions of most HA stuff these days !!
