Hello,
we are planning our new build with a developer and have an appointment with the electrician soon.
I am working on the LAN planning.
I will plan enough LAN connections for every room and also in the garage.
Should we use a mesh Wi-Fi router system, for example Netgear Orbi, Amazon Eero (one unit on each floor or in the most important rooms, which can be expanded as needed if there are coverage gaps) or something similar, or does it have to be an expensive PoE access point network?
I would say we are users with a higher-than-average standard.
I want to have good Wi-Fi coverage throughout the house so that I always have enough Wi-Fi on my phone for browsing.
A speed of 50–100 Mbps on the phone would be sufficient, but it should be stable (we will have a 500 Mbps or maybe only a 250 Mbps connection).
Do the access points have to be PoE devices mounted on the ceiling, or is that maybe a bit too much for us?
Or is a regular mesh router system (e.g., Netgear Orbi) enough for us?
Running the PoE cables will most likely be very expensive with the electrician (typical for developer projects :/ ).

So, I just need to have a standard flush-mounted LAN socket (1 port) installed in the ceiling where the access point will go, and then run the LAN cable centrally to the equipment room like all the other LAN cables? Then I just connect a short LAN cable (about 15cm (6 inches)) between the flush-mounted socket and the access point, and that’s it?
I have a second question: can I connect standard LAN ports to a PoE switch as well?

No, just an in-wall junction box where the cabling runs into. It’s only about having enough space to store the cables because the access point is mounted directly on the ceiling. You connect it using the keystone module.

Do LAN cables need to be replaceable? Once they are installed, the cable usually doesn’t change.
Cat7 is also completely sufficient for the future. “Must” is always such a strong word. I would definitely say it’s highly recommended!
People who installed ISDN wiring in empty conduits 25 years ago are now glad to be able to use those conduits for network cables.
The DIN 18015-2 standard doesn’t mention installing network cables in empty conduits without reason. It always depends on whether this standard is included in your contract.
As mentioned in another post: Nothing is more future-proof than an empty conduit of sufficient size!

Questions like these raise quite a few doubts for me.Well, "second" doesn’t mean "second to last" question ;-)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
