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?

Hello @Zaba12
Your network cable probably comes out of a conduit box, right?
You attach the keystone jack to this cable (wiring it the same way as if it were a socket).
Now you have a cable with a connector at the end. You plug the patch cable into this connector, and the other end goes into the access point.
You screw the access point mounting bracket over the conduit box and then click the access point in place.
The access point covers everything, so there is no need for plastering.
Instead of a socket that covers everything, you have an access point and no visible cables.

Are your outlets for the access points closer to the floor or higher up?
The UAP-IW-HD might also be interesting. For this, you would make the hole slightly larger and install the appropriate flush-mounted box. With the In-Wall model, you can connect the network cable directly using a field-terminable connector. The In-Wall version also has network ports at the bottom, so you would have both the access point and a multi-port outlet. In my opinion, this only makes sense if the location is suitable and closer to the floor.
