I have recently taken an interest in looking at different setups on various technology, & I.T. -related websites of people running their own Data/Network Cabling in their own homes/ living spaces. There are many ways to set it up like a structured wiring closet or home networking closet. There are wall-mounted box enclosures with Ventilation or traditional mounted racks for wiring, cable management and also patch panels. Essentially you run a data cable (Ethernet Cat5a-Cat6)out to each room where you'd like an ethernet port in the wall of each bedroom, etc.

I am wondering if anyone has ever done a home project and ran there own cables be it for Internet/Ethernet, or Coaxial cable for TV's, or even audio cables. I'd like to ideally run CAt6 statndard cables since provide fastest through-put, and have majority of my devices in my home connected to internet via hard-wired ethernet cables to the wall/ into Switch or Routers. Since wired is more reliable and provides a solid transmission medium vs WiFi. I'd still have WiFi Access Points, or a SOHO router, maybe even a Wifi Repeater/ Range extender depending on the type of materials in the walls, or size. Wifi would only be for Mobile devices,laptops, tablets, phones, or guest WiFi.

Anybody have any experience, thoughts, or ideas?

My setup is less than ideal.
I live in a 2 story multi-family house right now and the way we have it set up is we have Cat 6 running from the modem/router in the basement, up to a crawl space, and dropped down into 2 upstairs bedrooms and connected to their own routers.

The first floor has wiring coming up between a small gap in a floor vent and going to a switch and a small hole in a corner of the living room to another switch.

Since this is temporary, I haven't gone with the patch panel/wall jack/etc setup here like I ideally would like it.
