Hello everyone,
Since I am a complete beginner in the IT field, I’m asking for your help.
We are currently building a semi-detached house. Because of the underfloor heating, I have planned a CAT7 connection on every floor.
Now I’m wondering how I can later provide Wi-Fi and telephony throughout the house.
The incoming service line is located in the basement.
How can I distribute the telephony and Wi-Fi in the house using a FritzBox? I was thinking of installing an access point at the CAT7 outlets on every floor where needed. But how do I get the LAN connection there? Is it enough to connect the FritzBox in the basement to the network ports that end at the CAT7 outlets and then set up access points?
Also, I need to know how to connect a telephone (which will be located on the ground floor) to the FritzBox that is in the basement. Maybe Wi-Fi telephony?
Sorry for my awkwardness and many thanks for your help!

Appearance: White, flat, no rod antennas, simple, unobtrusive Just use the Unifi; it’s the safest choice.
For a discreet design, you can turn off the blue ring LED.

Unifi is far from complicated.
For the initial setup and further provisioning, you need the Unifi Controller. You can install it on a simple Windows laptop. It’s free. The purchasable controller only makes sense if you want to use the entire proprietary Unifi ecosystem for logging, monitoring, etc.
The access points themselves have a wizard that guides you through the setup. It’s really easy.

Just go with Unifi, that way you’re least likely to make mistakes. Great! Thanks for your clear recommendations! I’ll go with Unifi and that moves me one step further in my electrical planning 🙂
