Hello everyone!

I am looking for specific recommendations for a home network where 2 access points will be powered via PoE.

Each room will have a double LAN outlet, which will then be connected to a patch panel.

However, I want to have 2 wall or ceiling outlets installed to provide Wi-Fi coverage for the ground floor and the upper floor.

Do you have specific recommendations for a PoE-capable switch and access points that perform well?

Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-PRO 🙂 I have two of these myself, and they work perfectly.

Oh, and for outdoors, I also have a
UAP-AC-M
so I can have good Wi-Fi in the garden^^

And is it best to buy the switch from the same brand as well?

Which router would you recommend for a 100 MB fiber optic connection from Telekom? Something that works well together?

I’m also using two Ubiquiti access points, but the Lite versions. At the time, I didn’t see any reason to go for the larger models. They are powered via PoE from a Netgear switch. The Ubiquiti was too expensive for me.
