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.
