Also, most of the newer homes, the builder used cat5/cat6 cable to wire a landline 4-wire ports to many of your rooms. Also, most rooms have coax cable ports which are only good for satellite TV, or cable TV and 1 of these ports is used For Xfinity/Spectrum internet.

The best internal network you can build out inside your home is using a wired connection. To do this, you can re-terminate all the cat 5/cat6 landline wires to ethernet 4-pair connections (I did this myself with a few tools and testers). The other method is to use your RG5 coax cables as ethernet cables. This can be accomplished by implementing a MoCa network that involves devices you hook up to the coax cable and an ethernet cable coming out the other end of the device. These devices provide up to 2.5Gb speeds which is 2x the speed of a normal 1Gb local network.

So the home owner has multiple options to build out a speedy in house network using a few network components. You will still need a mesh network, maybe a few switches, but then you can get almost 1Gb speeds throughout your house.
BTW: the geek squad, galaxy home solutions, or any of your ISP's will know how to accomplish this, speak to a knowledgeable network tech.

That's like changing all the water pipes in your house to 4" pipe, but your connection to the water supply on the street is still 1". BFD.
