I have Comcast Cable which runs a coax cable to the house, to a modem, then cat/lan cable to a router.
I had separate cables running to each device from my office to the living room which passed thru a hole in the wall (back to back outlets). Now I moved everything to the other wall in the living room so I have to go up, over, and down the other wall to the devices.

If it's easy, run a pvc pipe or flexible conduit. Then you can pull whatever the next standard will be.
Having said that, ran very few wires in our new house/remodel, ran pipes to common areas, and ended up using wireless for almost everything.
We can stream 3-4 devices with no noticeable lag.

I prefer hardwiring only because I tend to have issues during a party when several people are signed onto my internet - people love their phones.
