We built our House and I ran Cat 6 with 2 outlets to a lot of places, but found I needed a lot more in a couple of places.
Where my main PC is needs about six. 1-PC 2-Printer 3-NAS 4-HA/Proxmox 5-Security camera WAN 6-Laptop. Because my security cameras feed directly to the recording box, I have another 4 for the camera feed. If I switch to Blue Iris and a better PC for HA, I can get the camera feed via the network.
For my main TV I need 1-TV, 2-PayTV, 3-Nvidia Shield, 4-video feed to garage (HDMI via Cat6)
Yes I could use wifi for many of those, but ethernet is much faster/stable.
