Unfortunately, I am a complete beginner regarding the above-mentioned topic and quite uncertain:
We are currently building our house, which will be connected via a broadband connection from KEVAG Telekom (TV, radio, internet, telephone). I assume the main connection point will be located in the utility room (house without a basement).
In every living area, the following connections should be possible:
- TV / radio
- LAN
- Broadband modem (or do I only need this in the utility room?)
As part of the construction work, all living rooms are to be equipped with Cat 6 network cables (supporting 10 megabits to 1 gigabit), arranged in a star topology running to one chosen room (most likely the utility room).
Do I need any cables besides the Cat 6 network cable in a room to have TV, radio, and internet LAN connections there, for example, separate LAN cables?
What specific types of wall outlets should I have installed in the rooms?
I kindly ask for clear explanations. I am not young anymore and have no knowledge of this subject.
Thank you very much!

It seems Traumfaenger has confused something here. The broadband modem does not necessarily have anything to do with Wi-Fi. Regardless of what the device is ultimately called (modem, router, connect box), @Deliverer : You are right, thanks for the clarification of terms. Indeed, a modem and a Wi-Fi router can be two physically separate devices with different functions. I only use it as a combined device now, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

These make Wi-Fi unnecessarily slow. Instead, it’s better to connect an access point (placed strategically in the house) by cable to the aforementioned switch. Yes, I agree completely here as well:

In the past, wired transmission capacity was usually higher than wireless (Wi-Fi).In the future, I will only use Wi-Fi for phones / iPads and for a guest network. That’s why all cables are CAT7 (currently still with CAT6 wall outlets, @Fuchur). Your solution with access points is definitely more efficient than a Wi-Fi repeater, I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for the tip.
