Hello,

I am new to this forum.

We are planning to build a single-family house in the near future. A reliable internet connection throughout the entire house is essential. I would like to implement this using Wi-Fi, but due to thick reinforced concrete ceilings, I need a smart way to get the signal upstairs.

Here is the current plan:
The internet will enter the house at the utility room. From there, it will be distributed throughout the house. One network outlet is definitely planned behind the TV to enable handling larger data streams.

How can I get a good/strong signal upstairs without using, for example, powerline adapters?

I have already checked with several electrical manufacturers (B+J, Jung, GIRA, ...) for something suitable that would provide Wi-Fi directly "from the wall," but unfortunately, I haven’t found anything.

I hope someone here can give me tips on how to solve this "problem."

Thanks and regards

Peter

Simply install an access point on each floor, which is, of course, connected to the router via a LAN cable.

Otherwise, try searching for Homeway.

Hello Peter,

please search Google using the following combination: recessed WLAN access point

The first two results are products from manufacturers you mentioned in your question. There are also recessed access points with Power over Ethernet (PoE) versions available, so you can power them directly through the network cable without needing a separate 230V power supply!

Best regards

You don’t need to spend a lot of money on flush-mounted installations; a simple surface-mounted setup behind a cabinet, TV, or on a shelf works better and costs hardly anything.

...in the operating room, the clear requirement was "flush with the wall." That is why there was the reference to built-in (concealed) installation. Everyone has their own requirements, aside from the fact that integrated built-in components, despite higher initial costs, also offer advantages.
