Hello everyone,
Our new semi-detached house is currently being built by the developer. Now it's time to install the electrical system, and I’m a bit overwhelmed with the topic of Wi-Fi.
Network outlets are already planned in every room. All the network cables will run together in the utility room and be connected to one device. Is this a hub? I have attached a picture.
I am considering placing one access point (AP) on the wall in the living room on the ground floor and another on the ceiling in the hallway on the first floor.
I have read that I don't need additional power outlets for the network connections. Is that correct? What device do I need to power the access points, and where should it be connected? Do the connections for the access points require standard power outlets?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

The image is very poor quality; I assume this is a patch panel.
Nowadays, with PoE, you no longer need power on site for access points. A fully populated CAT cable and a switch with PoE or injectors on the cable are enough. The easiest option is to look at Ubiquiti access points—you really can't go wrong with them.
For the router, you then disable the Wi-Fi and set up a unified network using the access points.

It might be fair to say that PoE switches are much more expensive than regular ones.
I simply have three Fritz!Boxes, one on each floor. The expensive ones that support mesh. They create a mesh Wi-Fi network and a guest LAN (without Wi-Fi). One in the basement provides internet from the fiber optic modem of Telekom... they also handle DECT. I didn’t want to deal with the subject, so I just went to MediaMarkt and bought three Fritz!Boxes for 600€.
The device in the picture is probably a patch panel; you will also need a switch and very short cables to connect it.
You can use either a PoE switch or a regular one. Do you only have five outlets in the house? Then a PoE switch is actually an affordable solution.

While beginners’ protection is understandable, we currently have two threads on the topic of things left on the stove!

The thing in the picture is probably a patch panel, for that you still need a switch and very short cables to connect it.

For that money, I bought a 24-port switch, an 8-port POE switch, three Ubiquiti access points, one FritzBox, and all the necessary small parts.
Sorry, but your suggestion is not really a good one.
