ᐅ Commissioning of the network installation

A switch would be the cleanest solution, but it is quite bulky and requires power.

However, if you are satisfied with 100 Mbps, you can use so-called dooplers. These basically split the 8 wires into 2 connections.

100 Mbps only needs 4 wires.

You can also “patch” telephones over the network. We have the TAE socket in the utility room, from there I run to the patch panel, then to somewhere else (specifically: hallway), where the Fritzbox is located. The second network cable then runs back to the utility room/patch panel.

Great. That’s exactly how I want to set it up as well (even though the house isn’t built yet).
The DSL/telecom/TAE... whatever the connection is... will be in the utility room.

All rooms (including the kitchen) should have double outlets. The Fritzbox will be placed fairly centrally in the living room (mainly for WLAN and DECT). So that means: telephone cable from the utility room to the patch panel -> double outlet in living room Fritzbox -> back to utility room -> switch/patch panel -> star topology to the other rooms.

However, I have one question:
Since this is a townhouse (3 floors in total), how can I reliably distribute WLAN and DECT across all floors? Another Fritzbox on each floor? Or WLAN/DECT repeaters? This still feels like a mystery to me...

DECT will not cause any problems.
You can solve Wi-Fi coverage with an access point on each floor, for example.

No simple access points wired at strategic locations.

Connect to the double sockets you have in the house... you will need to sacrifice a connection for the access point here and there...

Darn, Tomtom was faster...

Here in the apartment, I have a Wi-Fi repeater with its own SSID. Is this also necessary for an access point, or does it use the same SSID as the "main Wi-Fi" because it is wired?

Thanks in advance for the quick answers =)

You can do it however you want... in private settings, it usually doesn't matter.
