Hello.
Our builder told us that a TAE socket is no longer required. Modern routers like the FritzBox should be connected differently to get Internet access. As I understand it, a Cat cable is connected directly to the telephone main line, which then goes into the router (FritzBox works)... Could you please clarify what he means by this and if it is really the case?
Thank you.

Thank you for the tip! Unfortunately, we can’t install the LAN sockets on the ceiling anymore, but at least there is a double socket next to the power outlets in every room. In the living room, there are even two double sockets: one at the TV area and another one on the wall facing the garden.
In the basement, we are doing it like this: the network cabinet next to the fuse box, where the router will also be placed, and then, as you recommended, one access point per floor.
From the manufacturer you suggested, these APs would be suitable for us (wall installation, no special requirements), right?
U6 In-Wall approx. 200 €
U7 Pro Wall approx. 215 €
I haven’t yet understood the difference between these and the cheaper Ubiquiti UniFi U6+ (100 €) and the (round) Ubiquiti U7 Pro (180 €), but I will look into it.

I haven’t yet figured out the difference compared to the cheaper Ubiquiti UniFi U6+ (€100) and the (round) Ubiquiti U7 Pro (€180), but I will research that. The difference is mostly in performance. For example, the U7 Pro already supports Wi-Fi 7. The Pro models are designed for large offices. The Plus models are suitable for small to medium offices, and the U7 Pro Wall is tailored for home builders with seamless installation options. I haven’t personally used the Wall model yet, as we have mounted ours on the ceiling, but they look solid. The “paintable flush mount” also looks quite nice if you want a more discreet finish.
If you need newer Wi-Fi standards in 5–10 years, it’s usually enough to just replace the access points.
The access points can be set up using the accompanying app, but if you get into home automation later on, managing them via a server offers many more features. For example, this can be done with their Dream Router. With that, you have everything in one device and don’t even need a separate router like a Fritzbox, though you would still need a modem. Common modem choices for DSL connections include Draytek Vigor models.
