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.

For purely aesthetic reasons, I would never place an access point so centrally and then have it illuminated.
Connecting the access point directly to the cable is annoying because 1) installation cables are rigid and inconvenient for connecting devices, and 2) once it’s connected, it stays connected.
Forget about mesh networks as well. They have no place in new builds.
Wired connection > Mesh > Repeater

You can extend your Wi-Fi with mesh, which is better than using repeaters when the distant access point cannot be reached by cable. That is what it is good for.
