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.

500 Mbps is great, no doubt. Especially when discussing it at the local meet-up. But in reality? What for?
You need that kind of speed when 5 TVs are streaming simultaneously, and you still have to download large files from the company server at high speed. So basically... never...
