Hello everyone,
Our new semi-detached house is currently being built by the developer. Now it's time to install the electrical system, and I’m a bit overwhelmed with the topic of Wi-Fi.
Network outlets are already planned in every room. All the network cables will run together in the utility room and be connected to one device. Is this a hub? I have attached a picture.
I am considering placing one access point (AP) on the wall in the living room on the ground floor and another on the ceiling in the hallway on the first floor.
I have read that I don't need additional power outlets for the network connections. Is that correct? What device do I need to power the access points, and where should it be connected? Do the connections for the access points require standard power outlets?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

I think so. You just have to be careful not to damage the existing wiring. But make sure the box is large enough. A standard flush-mounted box won’t be sufficient. Since we are slowly moving towards implementation, a quick question on the best way to do this: Would I probably need a hole saw for an empty conduit box? Or drill a hole and then actually use a hammer and chisel? Third option: leave it to the electrician?

The third option is the safest but also the most expensive. 😉 Whether to use a hole saw or not depends on how the cable is positioned. Otherwise, a hammer and chisel, possibly combined with the hole saw, if you don’t go too deep.The cable comes vertically down from the ceiling (so there is a drilled hole from the upper floor through which the cable was routed). It should therefore be possible with a hole saw, right?untergasse437 Sep 2021 15:27Give it a try! If someone says "it works" and it doesn’t, that won’t help you either 🙂
