[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: low voltage options - we didn't spend too much there as I plan to run our own wifi mesh network and smart home system with integrated alarm, lights, etc. Toll Brothers alarm system is white-labeled from alarm.com [url]https://www.tbismarthomesolutions.com[/url] and if you integrate everything through them, it can get pricey. If you have some tech chops, this may be a good area to save.

The maximum bandwidth available will be about 65 Mbps (Megabits per second) for modern Wi-Fi devices that support mesh. While this may seem quite fast, keep in mind over multiple network hops, this bandwidth will decrease quickly.  CAT6 Ethernet cable can support up to 10 Gbps (10000 Mbps), which is approximately 154 time faster.  (Our current home have Verizon Fios fiber optics ethernet at 1Gbps and 3 top of the line mesh routers.  The maximum speed of the Wi-Fi is only approximately 300 Mbps at best).  If building a new home, prewire for CAT6 Ethernet is a good choice.

For out Palatine model, we also installed two conduits for fiber optics (to future proof if upgrading to 8K high def TVs).  Conduits are only $350+ each.[/quote]
