Dear forum,

we are currently planning the construction of our single-family house. Last week, I created an initial draft for the lighting and electrical installation, which I would like to share here for discussion.
Do you think I should reduce the number of recessed ceiling lights? Are the power outlets sufficient? I look forward to your comments!

Floor plan ground floor: residential house K7 (Kley) with living, dining area, and kitchen.

But having your own network is not really an advantage, at least from my experience. You’re sitting on the terrace using your phone connected to the available Wi-Fi network there. Then you go into the kitchen, and the device keeps using that same network until you lose reception completely. In the worst case, you stay connected to the terrace network even though the kitchen network would provide much better signal.
That’s exactly what modern access points (APs) handle automatically. They are set up through a central controller and communicate with each other, meaning a client device moving around that receives a better signal from another access point is smoothly handed over—ideally without any interruption.

Okay. But why should I make it so "complicated" when it’s also possible to have a network without any bandwidth loss?

Maybe I missed it, but where did anyone here say that you should set up different networks? Apart from a guest network, that is?

APs, even when called "repeaters with LAN cable," all function similarly. A network (and possibly a guest Wi-Fi) is set up, but each client is connected to only one access point at a time.
Depending on the features of the APs, the distribution of clients across APs, the coverage quality, and the seamless handover from one access point to another can vary.

It was stated that the access point creates its own network. That’s also how I understand it.

That is exactly what the "repeater with LAN cable" does. It is essentially just an access point, possibly with a reduced range of functions.
Every client is always connected to an access point, but it is the same Wi-Fi network.
