Electrical planning - Is something missing?

I'm still considering the lighting. I always prefer indirect lighting, but it's not always easy to implement.

Due to our wooden beams, we will also work with wall lights in some places or generate indirect light via a 5m LED strip mounted under the windowsill. I am still looking for the right lights for this, as well as something for the staircase, since we will also work here with wall lights and not with lights integrated into the staircase.

For the last 5 years, I actually haven’t connected any network cables. One for the repeater to the upper floor and basement, into the children's rooms and the living room.

For me, that’s already five network cables. If the DECT base is then not to remain in the utility room (basement), a sixth will be added. A guest or study room should also get a connection, then we have seven. (Luxury: all double sockets, that makes 14. Additional connections in kitchen, bathroom, attic, garage ...) We didn’t even have a phone before ...

Wi-Fi is okay for browsing, but not for streaming large amounts of data.

We only stream over Wi-Fi (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video), still within the apartment, but we hardly ever have connection problems.

Hello,

We only stream over Wi-Fi (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video), still within the apartment but we hardly ever have connection problems

"Apartment" is the keyword here. Wi-Fi might still work reasonably well within one floor, but it gets pretty difficult through reinforced concrete ceilings, and if you install floating parquet, Wi-Fi is a no-go. That requires an impact sound insulation with an integrated vapor barrier, which is usually an aluminum foil laminate. And Wi-Fi can't handle that…


If you want to connect multiple floors _securely, stably, and quickly_, you can't avoid LAN.


Best regards,


Andreas

Large amounts of data, not Prime or similar - the stream will be continuously adjusted anyway.

I suspect that "streaming large amounts of data" does not mean video on demand
