What do you mean by "LAN sockets with repeaters"?

Probably actually APs, but just not on the ceiling. A repeater is a device that only requires power. It connects to the WLAN and rebroadcasts its signal amplified, thereby increasing the range (although it halves the bandwidth). Most repeaters can also be used as access points. Then they get the connection via cable and set up a (separate) WLAN from their location. Linguistic precision is king. ;)

Ceiling APs generally have a much better coverage in all directions. Wall APs or repeaters are more designed to cover individual rooms (i.e., from the wall forward).

I cannot confirm that. A centrally mounted high wall access point per floor covers the entire large solid building including the garden.

Every Wi-Fi repeater increases latency and reduces bandwidth. Besides, they also don't manage a good connection through concrete ceilings. So it's only an emergency solution for upgrading, but nothing if you can still plan freely.
With APs, each access point is connected directly to the router with at least 1GbE.
Furthermore, with reasonable APs, clients can be distributed and handed over according to reception.

That's why I wrote LAN sockets, not Wi-Fi.
And then a cable and a repeater connected there. That way you have the full bandwidth.
And this distribution you describe is rather a disadvantage. You basically switch networks when moving around the house, which can potentially lead to disruptions.

What do you mean by "LAN sockets with repeaters"?

Well, for example, a Fritz repeater connected by cable to a LAN socket.

Presumably actually APs after all, but just not on the ceiling. A repeater is a device that only needs power. It connects to the WLAN and rebroadcasts its signal in an amplified way, thereby increasing the range (however halving the bandwidth). Most repeaters can also be used as an access point. Then they get the connection via cable and set up a (separate) WLAN from their location. Linguistic precision is King. ;)

No, the new repeaters do not halve the bandwidth. And they do not set up a separate WLAN, that is the advantage. You always stay in the same WLAN network, which in my opinion is an advantage.
