Hello everyone,
I have already used the WWW as well as the search here in the forum, but apart from various approaches, I have not found much.
I bought a house from 1960 and am currently renovating. Single-family house, 130 sqm. Basement, 1st and 2nd floor.
Now comes the question, how do I set up a network and the telephone system correctly?
My telephone connection is outside the house, see picture. However, I will move it to the basement.

So now my plan, which you are welcome to supplement.
Internet/network access in the following rooms:
Conservatory: 1x
Living room: 1x TV, 1x music system
2 children's rooms: 1x PC, (reserve 1x for TV or music?)
1 office: 1x PC
Hallway downstairs: cordless phone
Hallway upstairs: cordless phone
I would like to set it up so that all PCs (wired) and laptops (wired and WLAN) can access a common hard drive/server to share music, movies, and videos.
Now comes the big quiz question
1. What do I need and which types of cables are laid from where to where?
There is a lot written about Cat5, Cat5(e), Cat6, Cat7, etc..., but what makes sense at which point?
2. Furthermore, I have to order a telephone connection/provider at short notice.
Does it make sense to take a home server from 1&x here? Or do I need other hardware anyway and can save this money?
3. It would be great if you could explain the whole thing to me quite simply, starting with the telephone connection.
From the telephone connection with a xx cable to yy then with yy cable...
Thanks in advance!
