I'm glad this topic came up. I consider myself a near expert when it comes to networking since i'm an electrical engineer that spent 30 years in IT.
When I came to the Villages I purchased a home in Osceola Hills built circa 2016-2017. I quickly saw that I had fiber installed to my home and many cat5 cable drops run across my home. Coming from Verizon FiOS in NY I was very excited until I discovered that all the cat 5 cable was run to the kitchen and the bedrooms as telephone wire and the one place where I wanted a cat 5 run, to my Smart TV in my living room was not there. Only cable TV wire was there.
What to do?
1) What many don't realize is with current wifi mesh systems you can get more bandwidth than you will ever need with a 1GB internet feed. Remember most of us are retired two occupant familys living here in the Villages which is different than when we were younger with kids living at home using up a lot of bandwidth. That said, there are different types of mesh networks. Google, and others costing a couple hundred dollars will work well but these will not give you up to 1GB speed wirelessly. Orbi for example is on the other extreeme that will give you close to 1GB wifi speeds but is way more expensive. As many have commented everyone doesn't need 1GB speeds but if you want this you need to understand what you are purchasing. Everyone has different needs but most don't need 1GB internet speeds which is why Quantum Fiber now offers 200 MB speeds, bi-directional for $30/month, no contract, no tax. Also remember if you get cable internet 1GB service you get 1GB download and about 30MB upload and you are sharing the bandwidth with all your neighbors.
2) If you are like me and want the best possible internet to certain devices like my computer and Smart TV wether I need it or not you can use the cat 5 wire to any of your rooms which have them available and or like the OP stated use a MOCA adapter. In my situation I have the Quantum Fiber Smart NID in my data cabinet in the garage with my Orbi Router installed on a wall mount. I have direct cat 5 wire to one of my bedrooms converted to an office for my computers and have a ScreenBeam 7250 Moca Adaptor from the garage data cabinet to my Smart TV in the living room via the installed but not used coax cable to get full 1GB speed there. Everywhere else I use my Orbi mesh wifi wirelessly. I also put the Quantum Fiber Smart NID (fiber terminator and router) into Bypass mode so my Orbi Router is controlling everything. System works great.
So by using the MOCA adaptor I saved mysef the work and expense of running another cat 5 cable from the garage to the living room via tha attic. In my house this can be done but it's not easy.
The only other thing I want to mention is if you can get Quantum Fiber they offer two speeds, 200Mbs for $30 and 1GB for $70. The 1GB service includes their 360 wifi mesh network with is the Plume Mesh system for free and occasionally they will offer the 360 wifi for free with their 200 Mbs service when they run a sale. My friend in Fenney got the 200 Mbs service with the free 360 wifi recently and it works very well. Way better than I ever expected.
I'm a little surprised that Galaxy Home Solutions isn't aware of some of the more innovative ways to get "wired" internet to rooms in older homes but I'm sure they will run cat 5 or 6 any where you want it. The question is depending on your situation do you really need full wired speeds everywhere or will a good mesh wifi network do the job for you.
