My wife and I are building a home and as I am a gamer and my wife works from home, having fast and reliable internet is huge for us. We are both wanting to be wired into the internet. I am not the most tech savvy when it comes to home networking. I am trying to think what I need in the office for outlet wise to have the modem and router in there so we can connect via cable easily. I was thinking of asking for a coax cable into the room to connect the modem to it.
What are your thoughts on one coax cable for that room? Should I be asking for different outlets in the room or in other places? What other things should I be considering in my house?
Any or all help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Not sure how it works where you are but in UK you can tell the ISP which room you want the router in, so the easy option is to just put the router in the office. If you want the router elsewhere, or you want wired connections in other rooms, you’ll want to run CAT6 cables. Best way is to put one port in each room and have them all lead to a cupboard or somewhere out of the way
