Based on that, I guess the smart call be to wire (Cat 5/6/other?) throughout the house back to a central point to locate the network gear (when technology/funds available !)
Question therefore is a) what kind of cabing am I looking at ?, and b) is the technology there now or is it too new ?
I would put in 2 sets of Cat6 plus one coax. If you want to go all out, put in some multimode fiber now.

Chief manufacturing has a large selection of general as well as model specific mounts and lifts. I used their mounts in the office and at home.
