At the router was an RJ45 end not plugged in, and in the panel in garage were 6 cut ends. Nothing terminated. I knew I had two more that were supposed to go to Lanai and one going to LR. So you are right that makes 3 left. (and why you only saw 5 in attic) The thing is - I had to test out and terminate the cable to the router to get that connected, I then added a switch in the panel and toned out lanai and LR TV and they are now hardwired fine. So it's strange that they left it all cut unless that is standard at the panel box. And, no rooms have boxes with covers or RJ45 ports anywhere. In any case I think I am just going to use Orbi. I will send a picture once I clean up my panel. It's not as awesome as the one someone posted here - must have been an data center or cable guy! Thank You

It's standard to leave the Cat 6 cabling unterminated in the low voltage cabinet in the garage unless you get the "smart home" package when the house is built.
As far as leaving unterminated cabling in the wall, Licensed electricians install all the wiring including the low voltage wiring and I've never seen that done, mistake or not. That nice data cabinet you saw is mine. LOL
Since the home is new you can call the Villages and ask them where all the cables are terminated. In my home, I downloaded the plans from the Villages web site and found them that way. I also had a Cat cable I couldn't find and sure enough on the drawings it was under the desk in the laundry room.
Anyway, let us know how you make out.
