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 :/ ).

Manatarms1239 May 2022 19:11We bought the house and land from the developer.
We cannot change the house or the exterior paint color so that the neighborhood maintains a uniform style.
Inside, we can choose most things freely.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the floor plans of our house on my phone, but here are floor plans that are exactly the same as ours.
Our house corresponds to the right half of the floor plans.
I travel for work, so I can’t scan our own plans, but these are exactly the same.

The right half of the floor plans The staircase in the attic studio, although mirrored, actually belongs more to the left side. I don’t see any obvious spots for sub-distribution boxes, so it looks like all the patching will probably be done centrally in the connection room in the basement. Ceiling access points will likely be placed in the ground floor and attic corridors, roughly centered opposite the stairwell openings.

Manatarms1239 May 2022 19:56Yes, I will definitely centralize all the connections in the basement.
On the ground floor, do you mean placing the access point on the ceiling between the dining table and the stairs?
On the first floor, mounted to the ceiling in the hallway, and in the attic studio just in the middle of the room (one access point should easily cover the approximately 35m² (375 sq ft) space by itself).
Do you think one access point in the middle of the ground floor is enough, or should I install one in the kitchen and one in the living room?
In the attic, could I also use an access point with an injector and mount it on the wall? The ceiling is difficult because of the sloped roof, and there is enough LAN in the studio.
(Can I run the access point via a LAN switch using an injector, or does it have to be connected directly without a switch?)

According to the builder, we will develop the electrical planning from scratch together with the electrician.
The standard package includes, for example:
11 single sockets
13 double sockets
One light fixture in every room and hallway
5 satellite connections
No LAN cables
Doorbell system
One light fixture in front of the house and on the terrace
One switch for each electric roller shutter
And individual room controllers for the underfloor heating
The locations of all connections can be freely determined by us.
All connections beyond the standard, such as LAN cables, additional sockets, and so on, will of course be charged separately. What I can recommend to you off the cuff (we are exactly one step ahead – we already have a quote from the electrician):
Choose LAN double sockets. The additional cost for us is about 20% compared to single sockets.

Manatarms1239 May 2022 20:11Yes, double outlets are planned everywhere and remain free for any devices. Sometimes, however, there are still some devices connected that use LAN.
For example, Xbox, Nvidia Shield, receiver, maybe also TV.
That’s why I would install a small switch there, for example a 5-port one, but of course still keep the double outlet.
