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 :/ ).

Opening ports is the easiest thing in the world 😀
What do you think about the Unify video doorbell and PoE video surveillance camera?
Or should one consider other options?

So, you would definitely recommend using PoE APs and accepting the additional cost from the electrician? The electrician without IT knowledge should just pull network cables and leave them long enough so that someone knowledgeable can terminate them properly later. The extra cost only comes with the access point (hardware) itself, not with the cable; that’s the same with or without PoE. Make sure he doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t understand. Impress on him that the cables must run directly from the main distribution frame or (if applicable) sub-patch panel to the "connection points" (a term from his perspective), and that he should do as told without questioning.

It could have been that the Unify video doorbell and cameras work well with the access points and so on.
Yes, from each location for the access point, run the cable centrally to the technical room to the switch (and buy it yourself). I can connect it later myself (it’s just plugging in).
Unfortunately, I have no idea yet how the electrician will be, whether they have knowledge or not, or how good they are.
