Hello everyone,

I hope the topic description fits my question. Our house is now turnkey ready. The electrician rolled up all the network cables and hung them under the circuit breaker panel in the utility room.

For cost reasons, I would like to connect the cables to the patch panel myself.

I have 6 network outlets in the house. So I need a patch panel with at least 6 ports. A network switch and a Fritz!Box are already available.

Which patch panel would you recommend?
What else do I need to connect to the patch panel?

The "small thin gray" cable is the telephone connection, right? Which connector do I need for that?

I hope you can give me a bit of guidance.

Well, whatever? The standard-priced ones don’t support roaming, but if you use identical settings on the access points, you can usually achieve fairly smooth handoffs.

It’s important to disable auto channel selection and assign different channels to the access points with appropriate spacing.

Okay. That’s doable (:

I spoke with a friend today. He said the FritzBox should ideally be located in the utility room, so centrally with the other networking equipment.
I actually agree with him, but what about the Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz) and DECT signals in that setup?

I’m concerned that the signals might be absorbed by the sand-lime brick walls—two walls and a wooden staircase are "blocking" a clear reception in the living room.

So, sand-lime brick is not an obstacle... reinforced concrete is... my Fritz is also in the utility room, and I still get reception at the neighbor’s place...

Cool.
Then I will try it this way for now.

Is telephony also not a problem? A Siemens Gigaset xy using DECT with the router?

Which Fritzbox do you have?
Mine is also located in the utility room and barely reaches beyond that room...

7490 – is located in the basement inside a server cabinet (so it is partially shielded) and I have full reception there. However, on the ground floor, there is no signal at all.
