Is the house wired for cable television (RG-6 coaxial cable)?  If so, 
and you choose the right Internet provider, you might be able to get a 
"main box" with 1+ type F connectors, 4 @ RJ-45 Gigabit ports,  Wi-Fi 
access point, etc., and "satellite boxes" with 1+ type F connector, 1+ 
RJ-45 Gigabit ports, Wi-Fi access point, etc..  Ask you cable 
television/ Internet provider.


An alternative to running Ethernet cables inside walls is to run the 
cables on the surface -- e.g. staple to wall along floor molding, drill 
and pull through walls as required, paint to match, etc..  Cat 5e is 
smaller diameter and easier to work with than Cat 6a.  I surface wired 
my house with Cat 5e ~20 years ago and have 1000BASE-T (Gigabit 
Ethernet) switches and NIC's.  All of the cable runs are under ~20 
meters, so I should be able to upgrade to 2.5GBASE-T.
