However, I guess you could consider putting the router in the low-voltage panel and then you would have cat5 homeruns to all of the rooms. I wonder about the Wi-FI strength.
I had the same concern about Wi-Fi but have not had any issues so far. I really wanted Spectrum GB service but they swore they had no service in my area. Of course they were wrong but I had already signed up with Xfinity by the time I figured that out,
