Good morning everyone,
I completely forgot to plan for Wi-Fi access points, which is a bit annoying now. I need to retrofit something and am looking for the right access point to meet my needs.
I’ve read a lot about Ubiquiti access points, which would actually be quite good for my requirements since they support PoE (Power over Ethernet). However, what I don’t like is that I want to set up a nightly shutdown that I can also disable easily via an app when needed. Unfortunately, I can’t find this feature on Ubiquiti devices.
As alternatives, there are various Fritz!Box access points or the TP-Link Deco M4.
How have you solved this?
Best regards

You can use your provider’s modem or a separate one. Set it to bridge mode (for provider routers / all-in-one devices) and connect a USG behind it via LAN.
The type of internet connection does not matter. Only the modem has to be compatible. A router does not include a modem.

Thanks for your assessment.
Both the access point and the switch use the same PoE standard, so that should be compatible. According to the datasheet on the Devolo homepage, an access point has a maximum power consumption of 15W.
To be honest, I didn’t really pay attention to that criterion.
You are absolutely right about the washing machine.
Anyway, now there are two Devolo units at home ready to be installed. Fortunately, they can be replaced relatively quickly.
