Are LAN sockets still up-to-date? WLAN/wireless is the future!

Hmm... I would rather (or at least first) draw the lesson here to plan a proper WLAN with sufficient and correctly placed access points directly connected to a LAN cable, etc.

The vast majority of devices used nowadays depend on WLAN and don’t even have a LAN port...

A duplex socket per room is far from an orgy. In every corner, yes that would be exaggerated.

That's exactly the point, the former will probably be the case with us as well.

Are you telling me what is connected to your outlets?

Complete nonsense. During construction, we additionally laid fiber optic at important points and I put the 10GBit network into operation a few weeks ago. Partly over fiber, partly over Cat.7 cable. Works perfectly with the UniFi US-16-XG. A dream to edit 4k video directly over the network thanks to >800 MB per second! One can argue about fiber on the short distances (I wanted to be prepared for all cases)... but to forego Cat.7 really makes no sense. For me, only what absolutely has to is on WLAN, and with >20 devices that is already way too many.

Once again: it is not about being stingy.

I question LAN as a future-oriented technology. Your insights into 5G mobile communications are new to me. Personally, I rather believe that communication technology (by that I mean everything that communicates, so also devices, not just people) tends to move away from fixed locations toward the greatest possible mobile flexibility. To put it radically:

Anyone who has a landline phone at home today is already outdated. Remote work is another example. No location dependence, whether within the building or worldwide. The discussion here about LAN and bandwidth and please via cable reminds me of the history of telephone networks in industrial vs. developing countries. The latter have practically completely skipped the telephone network technology and only built mobile networks. No one there would have the idea of laying cables from house to house anymore... Of course, the comparison is a bit of a stretch, but I do see parallels.

: your post is communicatively (not necessarily content-wise) "complete nonsense." However, in terms of content, you also describe a pro installation that seems absurd in everyday life for most single-family home builders.

Constant use:
Home server
RaspbBi
IP interface for access to the house
NAS
2x touchscreens
Router
NVR
8x cameras

Occasional use:
2x televisions
A/V receiver
Projector with media player
Blu-ray player
Home PC
Work PC
Xbox


That is your good right. But cars still don’t fly. Although driving on 4 wheels was questioned just as much in the 50s.

LAN simply has advantages over WLAN in terms of bandwidth, speed, susceptibility to interference, etc.
