Before the drywall in this house was installed, I ran CAT cable from
where the high-speed cable service entered the house to the third floor
bedrooms, the family room and the kitchen.

This is a single story so I have pretty good access to the walls from
the attic
When I was having the roof replaced I snaked conduit down the outside
walls in a few strategic places and that helped a lot.
My wife has a "I don't want to see any wires" policy on everything I
do.
We have done enough renovation here where a lot of the walls have been
open that I got the base infrastructure into the computer room fairly
well established. I am running a Cat5 and some low voltage cabling out
to the new bump out in the screen cage too. I am sure there will be a
PC out there.

The first time I snaked wires from the attic to the basement, I pulled a
few extra lengths of nylon cord though the "channel". Years later I
wanted to add a couple circuits, made things easy...

I have done the same thing in the wire runs in my boat.

I suppose that if I got energetic I could use the existing RG6 cables
that are already run to pull a new RG6 and computer cable to each room
that we would want a hard connection for a computer. I'd have to move
the modem/router down to the utility room in the basement where all the
power and utilities come in the house from underground. It would still
be quite a project though. House has three floors above the basement and
some of those RG6 cable runs are pretty long.

Nah. Too much work. I'll stick to the wireless WiFi. It's working fine.
