Wiring up three rooms. How do all the network cables eventually connect?

[Mahaguru]

Here is the situation. I have been trying to wire up three rooms in my house. I looked into how to do this, and looks like I can accomplish this with some time and effort. But what I can't figure out is what connects them together? I know in office they have a network patch panel, but this looks like an over kill for a house.

Should I just do this, make the garage the "hub". Install a 4 port RJ-45 wall plate in the garage. Run cable from one room to garage. Then do the same for all three rooms. Then, just run some cables from the 4 port wall plate to a router or switch.

Is this fine, or will I run into problems?

Yeah, it should be OK.

Is that what most people who have ethernet in their homes do?

Its what I did when I wired my house.
I pulled cable for every room to a closet in the home where I located the switch, modem, etc.

Just put a small switch at a point where it is the easiest to
get to and also easiest to route all the wires from your router
and network drops from. Switches will need an AC receptacle
for the power adapter, both otherwise, can go anywhere.
Except I would not place it in a very hot attic.
