Hello,
I would like to have Wi-Fi coverage throughout the entire house.
Here is my plan:
- On the ground floor, the router will be placed under the stairs, in front of the utility room (the space is not fully recessed, standing height)
- On the first floor, an access point will be installed at the staircase leading to the attic (ceiling height)
- In the attic, another access point will be mounted in the hallway on the drywall partition wall (ceiling height)
Question: Is this setup sufficient, and are these locations suitable? Can you recommend any specific products?
Thanks and regards!

Regarding the terrace, I think the Wi-Fi signal from the router might be weak there, so I would add an access point on the ground floor. The question is, of course, where to place it. Having an access point on the ceiling in the living/dining area wouldn’t be ideal.
One idea could be an outdoor access point, like a Unifi outdoor access point, or a Unifi in-wall access point in the living/dining area.

I would go with the blue position then. Maybe there will be a cabinet there, possibly a large one for bedding, etc. = potential obstruction?

So, does this still need to be installed at ceiling height? In theory, it could then be placed in the partition wall between the living room and dining area, where LAN will be installed anyway?
