I wanted to ask if it makes sense to install a LAN socket on every floor or not.
Many people set up their home network with a central router that provides Wi-Fi throughout the entire house.
However, I’ve heard from many that there are usually problems with the router because the signal strength is too weak in rooms that are far away.
My plan:
Ground floor: 1 room
Wi-Fi in the living room
First floor: 3 rooms
2 kids’ rooms and the bedroom with either LAN or Wi-Fi
Attic: 1 room with LAN or Wi-Fi
I thought about installing a LAN socket in each of the rooms mentioned above and either connecting a PC directly to the socket or putting a router in front of it to have Wi-Fi in that room.
The internet connection will be on the ground floor in the utility room.
Many people use powerline adapters over the electrical system, but I don’t want to use those because they have to stay plugged into the socket all the time.
I find the solution with routers better because I can turn them on and off as needed.
Is it even possible to have multiple routers in one house/network?

In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves, but here’s what we did:
The phone, PBX system, and router are all located in our basement (utility room), where all the network cables come together, and there is a socket for each cable. We have at least one LAN socket in every room, which I can then connect to the router downstairs via a patch panel.
This works really well, and we have a stable connection.
Advantage of LAN sockets: I can also patch my phone in anywhere.
It’s a great solution, and we would definitely do it the same way again!
Best regards, Soundsurf
