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

NanoHD is recommended for the ceiling.Rick, have you been able to compare the air conditioners? I have both the Nano and the Pro here because I read that although the Nano has a higher airflow capacity, it apparently has noticeably less range in direct comparison.
Can you comment on that?
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test it yet due to time constraints.
If that's true, I would probably go with the Pro, even though I don’t like that it’s so large. The airflow capacity is still very high.
In Europe, transmission power is limited.
Therefore, the LR model does not have greater range. The Pro is “very slow” compared to the NanoHD. I know both. Check the comparison datasheet from Unifi between the NanoHD and the Pro.
The Pro will also be discontinued soon. That’s why it’s best to always choose a current access point.
The Pro is also quite large and tall.
If you want something that big, then go for the HD right away. It’s totally over the top but really good.
The Pro’s strengths lie in the 2.4 GHz network. This band is less relevant for home users, who are more interested in the faster 5 GHz band.

When positioning, make sure the access point is not installed directly in the corner where the wall meets the ceiling. Always leave some distance from the wall. Ok. Otherwise, isn’t the signal radiation less effective?

So, for example, the LR doesn’t have more range. The Pro is “snail slow” compared to the NanoHD. I know both. Check out the Unifi comparison datasheet between the NanoHD and the Pro.
The Pro will soon be EOL. So always choose a current access point.

The Pro’s strengths lie in the 2.4 GHz network. This is rather irrelevant for home users; it’s the fast 5 GHz band that matters. I have both here. I will simply test them with the same settings, from the living room to the bedroom. The 1750 AVM does not cover the entire apartment, 110m² (1184 sq ft), which is rather narrow. I will use that as a reference and then decide.
