I assume this means you have no plans to use cable/satellite for TV? Even if you don't now, you might in the future and then it will be a bigger pain in the arse.
I know DirecTv can do wireless on the boxes but wired is better.
You should consider running cables for wifi access points if you want to mount one in a hallway, ceiling etc. In my new home last year, I went with the approach of installing small in-wall APs in several rooms.
Also don't forget surveillance cameras. Alot of cameras can be powered by ethernet.

Right now I have Comcast with wireless boxes. I think nowadays the wireless boxes are a decent choice, however haven’t done wired boxes for ease of transferring boxes around without running cables. Do the wired boxes require coax? I figured they would just need cat 6, but I could be wrong.
Also, am doing the cameras, but those are just cat 6. For access points, I have the Orbi setup in my current house. That just plugs into the power outlet. I could just add another one of those if needed, correct?
