ᐅ Which features add value for resale?

I believe that having gigabit network cables at all key points in the house (including TV) is a reliable solution for the coming years. Anyone who thinks they can cover everything with Wi-Fi is mistaken. Mesh systems are great, but where wiring is possible, that will always be my first choice!

For what purpose? I currently don’t see any practical benefit in everyday life.

The everyday benefit? Quite simple: multimedia. Young people want Prime, Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, etc... and these don’t come into the rooms through the satellite cable.

The worse the location, the better and more extensive the features need to be. This will not have changed in 20 or 30 years. In a village of 500 residents, ten kilometers (about 6 miles) away from the highway, you already need at least underfloor heating, a double garage, and enough space from the neighbors to actually motivate well-off couples from the yuppie urban area to show up for a viewing appointment, regardless of rain or pool weather.

In Munich or Frankfurt, on the other hand, even in 20 years, energy guzzlers, weathered facades, greenish-brown bathrooms, and terraced middle houses with tiny gardens will still sell without any problem.

For good Wi-Fi in a single-family home, you already need wired networking to supply the Wi-Fi access points. Everything that is stationary should also be connected directly to the LAN in my opinion. This way, there is plenty of bandwidth left for mobile devices. Another advantage of LAN is the higher data transfer speeds.

To what extent you set up the entire network this way is debatable, but anyone building without it today is stuck in the last millennium.

On each floor, one outlet, and possibly additional ones near the TVs. Usually, that’s all anyone needs.

Even my TVs connect via Wi-Fi despite having a set-top box, because it simply works perfectly.

And Wi-Fi radiation compared to electric cars and similar devices is completely negligible.

If Bookstar works well for you, that’s great, but it wouldn’t be suitable for me. LAN simply works, and you don’t have to deal with the sometimes annoying Wi-Fi.
