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

The Ubiquiti components are designed for wall mounting. I have never seen them installed on the ceiling.

Yes, but in my opinion, the mounting height matters (2m (6.5 feet) on the wall will likely be more effective than 1m (3.3 feet) wall mounting).

That does not matter. But if you want to be precise, it is ideal to have it at the height of the devices. So, probably a laptop on the table and a phone held while sitting. In that case, 1m (3.3 ft) works well.

However, you don’t need to make such a big deal out of it.

That does matter. The higher, the better, up to about 20cm (8 inches) below the ceiling.
