Hello,
we need to decide soon on the number of network outlets required throughout the house.
Basically, we agree on where to place outlets (living room, office, children's rooms, bedroom...) for connecting stationary devices.
However, I am a bit unsure about what exactly needs to be planned to ensure good Wi-Fi coverage on both floors.
What I find online about this topic is beyond my current understanding.
Would it be possible to simply install one network outlet centrally on each floor and connect a device there to extend the signal? What kind of device would that be?
(I have often read about access points.)
Looking forward to some beginner-friendly advice. Thank you very much.

Wi-Fi replaces LAN in 99% of cases. It runs just as fast and stable. The exception is gaming and TV with UHD, etc.
Nobody installs a phone socket in the rooms anymore either... Sorry, but you obviously don’t know much about this topic.
Wi-Fi, even with only one client, delivers less performance than a 1 Gbit LAN connection! Since there are usually multiple clients on Wi-Fi, the performance decreases even further. For a future-proof network, using LAN combined with enough access points (APs) is essential. With Wi-Fi, only the slower 2.4 GHz network offers greater range. For fast 5 GHz Wi-Fi, several well-positioned APs are necessary.
A Fritzbox is an all-round device but does not excel in any specific area. It is acceptable for a grandmother living alone in an apartment but not suitable for covering a single-family house with multiple people.

Nobody even installs telephone sockets in rooms anymore...Here’s the situation: The wife is streaming Grey’s Anatomy in UHD on the TV.
Child 1 is watching 4K YouTube on a phone.
Child 2 is Skyping on the iPad with a friend in Australia.
Child 3 is on TeamSpeak playing Fortnite on a laptop.
The oven is currently downloading an update, 2 Alexas are playing music softly, and my four outdoor cameras are nervously filming passing sparrows, while the two indoor cameras are watching the cat suspiciously.
I’m enjoying the quiet and want to play some games myself, launching a 10GB update on Steam.
Nothing happens in my house. Everyone is happy, I grab another beer and take a quick break, and then the game finishes downloading and I can start playing.
In your house, the wife starts yelling because Dr. Slone begins to stutter, Child 1 suddenly can only watch videos in 160p and shouts loudly “DAD!!!”, Child 2 only sees pixelated mess and defiantly jumps off the bed heading to the basement to find you, Child 3 throws their laptop against the wall in a rage quit, the oven reports an error and won’t turn on anymore because the firmware crashed.
And all that just because you were too stingy to install some CAT7 cable in the walls?
I always say: the "cordless cables" offer the worst balance of cost, performance, and supposedly reduced effort in every way.
