Hello everyone,

Since I am a complete beginner in the IT field, I’m asking for your help.

We are currently building a semi-detached house. Because of the underfloor heating, I have planned a CAT7 connection on every floor.

Now I’m wondering how I can later provide Wi-Fi and telephony throughout the house.

The incoming service line is located in the basement.

How can I distribute the telephony and Wi-Fi in the house using a FritzBox? I was thinking of installing an access point at the CAT7 outlets on every floor where needed. But how do I get the LAN connection there? Is it enough to connect the FritzBox in the basement to the network ports that end at the CAT7 outlets and then set up access points?

Also, I need to know how to connect a telephone (which will be located on the ground floor) to the FritzBox that is in the basement. Maybe Wi-Fi telephony?

Sorry for my awkwardness and many thanks for your help!

Only one connection per floor or one connection in each room?

Only having one outlet per floor is already the first mistake. Or do you mean one per room?

In the simplest setup, you could do it like this:

- Place the router from your internet provider in the basement.
- Connect a small PoE switch to this router.
- Connect the access points to this PoE switch.
- Connect a second router (can be the smallest model) either to this PoE switch or directly to the outlet on the ground floor, and pair the phone(s) there via DECT.

If you come across the term "repeater": just forget it right away, it’s not a viable option.

If you are going to have wiring installed, there will surely be a patch panel included, right?

I have a clear view of a pharmacy and have seen the horses already, but what on earth does gigabit speed have to do with controlling underfloor heating???

Your posts are often quite funny, but right now I'm not sure if this is just a joke or a lack of knowledge?
