Well , since most of my exterior walls don't have drywall yet ...
now would be a good time to decide . The modem and router are at the
middle of the structure and will stay there , probably 4 or 5 runs
would cover the most likely areas where I'll want a computer - TV ,
stereo , one or 2 in the bedroom , my desktop is right by the router
and will stay in this immediate area . The one that really needs a
wired connection is the shop , it's just barely too far from the WiFi
router to get a reliable signal . Doesn't help that the side walls are
sheet metal (end walls are wood framed with plywood sheathing) .


Given that, I'd run a wire to the shop and a wire or two to places you
think you may need it in the future.


+1 If you have the access to the walls, do some runs now to remote
areas of the house. If nothing else you can always drop in another
wireless router in the nether reaches to ensure solid wireless
connections throughout the home and shop.
