My house was wired with 7 outlets and a wireless access point in the ceiling, two in each room where TVs would go, and one on the lanai, with 2 and 4 gang outlets in the study and living room for the extras . . a wired only modem and a nat router with a dedicated TV wire and a switch for all the other wires. I call that a smart home.

The one outlet i missed was for the toaster. .
My home also has cat 5/6 outlets but when spectrum came to install our modem the guy said they "don't do that" I have been using spectrum for years (just for connectivity not tv) never had an issues with them and have fantastic connectivity. So I don't want to change. Use wireless for everything but would love to know more about how you connected. I have an Asus router..
