The answer is always 5G - 5G - 5G.

A 5G solution means the builder doesn't need to spend money on structured cabling in new construction, no residential media wall cabinet, no CAT/RG wiring in the walls, no ugly boxes on your walls.

Just put a 5G gateway somewhere in the house and few WiFi mesh devices in other places. "It's so much better" - says design consultant.
