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

Thanks

You need a structured network cabling system, preferably with a central hub in the utility or equipment room and outlets everywhere there are fixed devices (Wi-Fi access point, TV, desktop computer, network printer, heat pump, ventilation system, etc.).
Wi-Fi can be operated alongside this for convenience or added later if needed.
I have installed about 30 network outlets throughout the house, mostly double sockets.
The electrician’s price per outlet ranges between 80€ and 150€.
I did the installation myself.

Actually, I don’t want any radiation at night! Then your only option is to cut the power to the entire house and preferably also to the houses and power lines in the surrounding area 😉.
It’s not that simple to just "turn off" quickly. If the access points are powered over Ethernet (PoE) variants, you have to switch off the power supplier – which is probably the switch. This means unplugging cables or shutting everything off in the evening, but then everything including the phone will be dead (if you already have a switch, you can connect your phone to any network socket).
