Electrical outlets and network ports in the attic, so that you can set up wireless access points in the ceiling - much better range.

Gigabit network ports in every room, that all terminate in a network closet where you can set up your cable/dsl modem, switch, etc.


Clearly you see where my interests are :)

I heard that enabling jumbo frames on your switches and routers will have a large net affect on your bandwidth. I am not sure CAT6 is worth it over CAT5e but if you are building from scratch its better to future proof your house while you have the chance

Jumbo frames will work but you will need to purchase business routers Jumbo frames wont' work on the little home network switches.

One of the neatest things I've seen in a new home is a laundry room that is connected to the bedroom closest. So you walk through the bedroom closet into the laundry room.

I'd also wire the house everywhere I could for AV and Ethernet cables even though wireless is easy to setup wired connections are always more reliable and faster.

Nice outdoor patio w/fireplace and ceiling fan w/outdoor kitchen and TV. All close to the swimming pool. (If were talking about everything we really want )
