Hello,
we are planning our new build with a developer and have an appointment with the electrician soon.
I am working on the LAN planning.
I will plan enough LAN connections for every room and also in the garage.
Should we use a mesh Wi-Fi router system, for example Netgear Orbi, Amazon Eero (one unit on each floor or in the most important rooms, which can be expanded as needed if there are coverage gaps) or something similar, or does it have to be an expensive PoE access point network?
I would say we are users with a higher-than-average standard.
I want to have good Wi-Fi coverage throughout the house so that I always have enough Wi-Fi on my phone for browsing.
A speed of 50–100 Mbps on the phone would be sufficient, but it should be stable (we will have a 500 Mbps or maybe only a 250 Mbps connection).
Do the access points have to be PoE devices mounted on the ceiling, or is that maybe a bit too much for us?
Or is a regular mesh router system (e.g., Netgear Orbi) enough for us?
Running the PoE cables will most likely be very expensive with the electrician (typical for developer projects :/ ).

Manatarms12311 May 2022 13:15Okay, I will tell him once we get an appointment.
Everything will be agreed upon in writing anyway in the end.
We will also have all the satellite cables routed centrally to the utility room, with 4 cables running from the satellite dish on the roof down to the basement room, connected to the LNB (the satellite cables will also be installed in conduit).
Which satellite dish can you recommend? Does it actually matter which one, as long as it has a 4x Quattro LNB?
In the utility room, we will connect the 4 cables to the multiswitch and distribute them to the individual rooms (always 2 cables per outlet).

Then please say, or even better write: "should be installed in the conduit to allow for easy replacement"That’s when it will finally click that conduits should not be confused with protective tubes ;-)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Manatarms12311 May 2022 13:57We will try to install the satellite dish on the northeast roof near the window so it can be easily accessed later.
We have a roof tile with cable entry and a bracket for the satellite dish.

We have a roof tile with cable inlet and a mount for the satellite dish.We decided completely against satellite and invested the saved money into more LAN infrastructure instead. TV is mainly streamed — and if there are any network issues, we have DVB-T as a backup.

Manatarms12311 May 2022 14:18We deliberately chose satellite because it is usually cheaper than IPTV and also less prone to interruptions.
If the internet goes down, at least we still have TV, and during strong storms, it’s the other way around 🙂
That’s why I want to ask which satellite dish you would recommend for us?
