New construction is being wired up next week and I'm clueless. (alien.top)

The contractor asked me how I want things wired and I didn't really know.

I was thinking Cat6 ethernet cable with a wall plate in each room. They would all run to the crawl space where I'd have my modem and NAS.

It's a small house. Only 5 ethernet wall plates throughout.

Is there anything I should ask for? I use Plex and IPTV.

Thanks.

Done this. The drywall people or someone put a nail in the longest, most difficult cat wire run. Caught it too late - I lived two States away during construction. Would have had to pull three rooms’ drywall down to find it. Don’t let this happen to you.
