Hello,
now that we finally have fiber optic installed in the house and thanks to the FritzBox the internet is running very fast and stable, we still need to improve the lighting in the house and garden.
The ceiling is made of reinforced concrete, and quite a lot of metal has been used in the construction (lintels, ring beam, etc.).
Additionally, the house is quite large in size.
What can be done to have satisfactory Wi-Fi coverage everywhere?
I have 20 Ethernet ports throughout the house that I could use.
Which system makes sense?
Best regards, Barossi

I recommend access points from Ubiquiti, preferably the pro version. It works well with PoE and roaming is seamless throughout the whole houseHello,
then the switch also needs to support PoE. Unfortunately, mine does not.
I would prefer to connect an access point to my network outlets. I read that these are ideally installed on the ceiling.
Which access points also work well in the middle of a room or below the ceiling?

What kind of Wi-Fi do you need? How fast, etc.? What exactly are you planning to use it for?
As mentioned above, you can configure any router as an access point (fixed IP, DHCP off, connect via LAN port, choose different channels). If it’s just about providing coverage for phones and similar devices, that would be enough for me.
Ubiquiti is just the cherry on top. You can also operate those without PoE, or use an inline power injector. I believe those are included.
An access point doesn’t have to be mounted on the ceiling. You place it wherever it fits best.
Your Fritz!Box isn’t on the ceiling either and it still works fine.

Why not buy a POE switch? The higher the access point is installed, the greater the range and speed. This applies to all access points.
