When it comes to electrical topics, I'm out, as I only let the electrician handle that due to lack of knowledge.
LAN is normally wired from a central point -> star wiring. However, compromises must sometimes be made on existing installations, but this always needs to be examined in detail. For installation cable, I would go for CAT 7 or CAT 7a. Always lay these cables exchangeably in protective conduits. Observe installation zones and do this in close coordination with the electrician.
Network outlets should always be placed where devices are planned. Don't forget adjoining rooms like hobby rooms and garages. Basically, always install a double socket that doesn't take up more space than a single socket. Always use a deep flush-mounted box for network outlets or even better, an electronics box. Where all cables come together, it is best to install a network cabinet; the cables end in a patch panel (like a network outlet but with many ports). For network outlets and the patch panel, I would choose keystone modules, as these are more fault-tolerant and thus better for novices. They also have some other distributors. The grounding of the network cabinet should always be done by the electrician. You can check out Kabelscheune. They have a good overview of individual network components.
In addition to the fixed wiring of the components, WLAN also comes into play. Here, at least one access point per floor should be provided. Ideally position it high on the wall or on the ceiling. If not using POE access points, power must also be supplied nearby. For WLAN, also consider the access point for the terrace and garden, as in-house coverage usually does not reach those areas.
That was now a quick overview of the topic. Read up, read up, read up!
