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 :/ ).

The problem is that switches capable of delivering high power often have a high baseline power consumption. So, high efficiency is only achieved at around 90% load or similar. Got it! Thanks!
So far, I have 3 PoE access points, and possibly one more (outdoor). Do you think it would be more energy-efficient to use a regular switch with injectors here? Or would that create too much chaos in the server rack?
Or is there a switch that has both PoE and non-PoE ports? That would be a good compromise.
First World problems... 🙄

And are PoE cameras or similar devices planned as well?
And are PoE cameras or similar devices planned as well?
Since we both often work from home, we want to have as many devices as possible connected via LAN. Let me mentally count... about 23 non-PoE devices, with at least 4 planned as options/alternatives in case my wife wants to redecorate.
We haven’t given any thought to cameras, so they are not included in the planning.

Exactly, that's why I included "option." A patch panel is planned.
So there will be about 20 active non-PoE ports versus 3-4 PoE ports. The devices that are "optional" in terms of redecorating are not connected at both the old and new locations simultaneously. Therefore, at one of the two locations, their outlet is free (and consequently does not occupy a port on the switch, only on the patch panel). Are you still confused at this point?
