Hello,
we need to decide soon on the number of network outlets required throughout the house.
Basically, we agree on where to place outlets (living room, office, children's rooms, bedroom...) for connecting stationary devices.
However, I am a bit unsure about what exactly needs to be planned to ensure good Wi-Fi coverage on both floors.
What I find online about this topic is beyond my current understanding.
Would it be possible to simply install one network outlet centrally on each floor and connect a device there to extend the signal? What kind of device would that be?
(I have often read about access points.)
Looking forward to some beginner-friendly advice. Thank you very much.

Most of it has already been said...
Place an access point on the ceiling in every hallway (Light or Pro, depending on how much you want to spend).
With UniFi, the PoE injectors are included, so using a PoE switch doesn’t really make sense.
200/400 Mbps is quite impressive; I think for us it would have been around 100/150 Mbps.
But we have an access point in every room anyway, and instead of the satellite socket, we got a network outlet as a cost-neutral replacement. So, apart from exceptions, we only have two individual outlets per room. If there’s a real need, you just plug in a small switch at the outlet. The main thing is to keep the location flexible, and at least you have one connection for the TV and one for the PC.

Um, a duplex cable IS two 8-wire network cables, just glued together....Exactly. And he should leave it at that. Pulling duplex cables is a real pain.
