Hello! I’m looking for information/advice about home networking. My dad and I are building my house mostly by ourselves. We just started running electrical and I didn’t want my internet to become afterthought. My intention is to run cat6 to the living area, bedroom and office/bedroom with a central hub if needed at either the living room tv area, close to the ceiling of the laundry room or wherever suits best. I would like to have at least 1 indoor and 1 outdoor router; my goal being (if possible) to have seamless internet between the two routers (not having to switch between networks). The home is relatively small 25x44 and I believe this is more than enough for my space / needs. Haven’t researched providers yet, but charter-spectrum is definitely nearby and Verizon 5g home internet is available. Any suggestions/thoughts/Good videos/channels/websites for someone who’s new to it but likes to do everything themselves?

    The meter box hasn’t been installed yet but should be installed along the lower exterior wall of the garage (left side) probably about 3-4’ from the front and the main breaker panel is on the opposite side inside the garage.

    I think I’m going to have my switch in the ceiling space of the laundry room

      Gotcha.

      Your CATV/Telco/Fiber services will probably hit your building near your meter I would imagine, so you’ll need cabling from there to wherever your various network cables terminate.
