ᐅ Which Wi-Fi system would you recommend?

Hello

Which Wi-Fi system would you recommend?

We want good Wi-Fi coverage for our house and garden that is stable, has good range, and solid speed. We have one LAN duplex socket on each floor and in the garage.

My plan:

We will get 500 Mbps fiber optic internet from Vodafone (1 Gbps is currently too expensive, but I would probably upgrade if it gets cheaper). The Vodafone ONT basically acts as the modem (so we don’t need a separate modem, which means we have free choice of router).

In the basement:

Network cabinet:
1x patch panel
1x 16-port switch
1x router

On the ground floor, first floor, and attic:

Each floor will have one access point (ceiling mounting is unfortunately not possible, as the LAN duplex socket is located about 30 cm (12 inches) above the floor under the TV, where a lowboard will be placed).

We have the following options for placing the access point:

1. Mount the access point inside the lowboard/cabinet on the back panel.
2. Place the access point on a taller piece of furniture, e.g., a display cabinet about 2 m (6.5 ft) high.

Which system would you recommend for us? Currently, I am considering the following, but feel free to suggest others:

AVM or Unifi / TP-Link Omada (Omada is very similar to Unifi but cheaper).

Thank you very much for your help.

You have probably already read the many existing threads on this topic.

Why are you still uncertain? What questions have come up?

The biggest question is whether it would be worth it for us to buy a professional system like Unifi/Omada, or if a standard home user solution like AVM would be sufficient.

We will likely buy a few IoT devices in the future.
Should the IoT devices have their own Wi-Fi SSID, or can they be integrated into the standard network?

Another question is, regardless of whether it’s Unifi/Omada or AVM, can we place the access points inside a low cabinet (hidden), or will the Wi-Fi signal be too strongly blocked inside the cabinet?

The more freely the access point is positioned, the better.
I wouldn’t place it inside the low cabinet.
Regarding the system, we use AVM, and it runs reliably. The IoT devices connect to your regular Wi-Fi network.

Seriously? Haven’t the other threads been enough for you? Have you not understood even the basics of the 25 pages in your last thread?

Everyone, don’t bother. He has asked exactly the same thing multiple times under different names and has already received more than enough final answers.

You mean his own many existing threads. This guy is annoying. I’m curious when the threads will appear after moving in, like: "How should I sit on the sofa," "How much toilet paper should I leave on the roll," "Should I put the pasta on the left or right side of the cupboard," and so on.

I recommend having at least the number of sheets you need. Or having a spare roll within easy reach so you don’t have to get up 😉
