Hello,
currently, I am working on the electrical planning. I am wondering whether network cabling makes sense in a new build or not. So far, I have planned only a double socket in the living room and a double socket in the office. Nowadays, people mostly use tablets or laptops and connect via Wi-Fi. What is your opinion on this?

What exactly do you want to tell me about "a lot"? That simply installing as many access points as possible is not a good idea. Just because you’re happy with that setup in your reference house doesn’t mean it applies to everyone else, even if you find that hard to believe.

Of course cables have to be paid for as well, but that wasn’t the question… What else could it be? When the discussion is about running cables into every room or asking about Wi-Fi as an alternative.

And why a reference house? What are you trying to imply? It’s not hard for me to believe – just impressive how you’re addressing me on that level now.
I checked the signal coverage on the floors and wired accordingly – you could calculate it too, but I can’t.
The fact is, a single central access point (or Wi-Fi router) usually isn’t enough if you want good reception everywhere.
Better to install an additional network socket (or outlet) and not regret it later.

I have a socket in every room, plus a few more sockets for my speaker boxes. Then, in each hallway, there is one just below the ceiling for Wi-Fi access points. The rest I do over Wi-Fi, since cables are impractical for mobile devices. However, streaming and gaming over Wi-Fi is just not reliable.
