This may sound dumb or be helpful so I'll toss it in just in case:
Depending on when they're built, a lot of houses' RJ-11 phone jacks are actually using CAT-5E. If you're lucky, they're individual runs and not daisy-chained!
The way they set up the runs here is weird though, they're cat-5E but we have no fancy junction box. It all runs to some hatch on the side of the house presumably for telecom/satellite TV installers. So you might have secret ethernet cable behind your landline jacks, even if there's no tidy junction box! :)
It was cool finding out there's already capable infrastructure in the walls, but you gotta replace the wall jacks with RJ-45 using a tone tool to label which one goes where, and then the next trick is figuring out an affordable switch that can handle a garage that could get to 100ºF + in summer...
But anyway, worth checking before you start getting too deeply sunk into other solutions. :)
It was built in the late 80s so I doubt it's cat5. But I also know the basement was finished later, so maybe I'll get lucky at least with those.
I just need to figure out where it's all going to see if I can reuse it.
Another interesting thing is the previous owner ran speaker wire to the master bed, living room, and basement room exactly where I want to go, so maybe can reuse those runs.
