Network planning for a 140m2 single-family house

Hi, where do you want to put the switch? It won't be small either with your number of IP sockets, right? I would put everything in the HAR, meaning router and switch. The two are connected anyway. The router should still have enough Wi-Fi power for the entire ground floor, or are you building a reinforced concrete, WW2 bunker-like structure?

No no, I'm just building a prefabricated house with timber frame construction )

Switch and patch panel are generally supposed to go into the utility room, I just wanted to outsource the Fritzbox to the living room so to speak ^^ basically one socket there and one back.

That way I thought I would have less loss in reception. Drywall is said to absorb radio signals too...

A friend will install the patch panel, but I thought if I use Keystone modules, later changes would be much easier.

So just go with LSA on the patch panel?

I wanted to avoid sockets at the access point and simply work via PoE. That seems like a good idea

With a wooden stud wall, you won't have any problems with reception... one Fritzbox in the utility room is enough, it doesn't even need to go into the living room...

does not cost the world is relative. If you do it yourself, you get by with about €20 in materials per double socket, but with the electrician you lose €80-100 in no time.

LSA - definitely. I have surely made 100 sockets/connections with it, it fits perfectly.
And such a tool doesn't cost the world either.

I also advocate for double sockets, and then I would also directly do without the telephone cables and handle that via the network cables as well. Depending on the application, you can wire the sockets at the patch panel accordingly. And a 24-port switch is not necessarily needed with just a handful of devices; you will rarely need to supply all the ports of the patch panel (you only have those for flexibility).

Definitely get the 24-port switch - it's not that expensive either. Why? Three telephone lines, HTPC, amplifier, Xbox/Playstation, 2 office computers, PC connections in the kids' rooms (and later also a telephone), network printer, access point(s), video intercom system, etc. That adds up quickly.

Do you have a good tip on which one I should take? I had a used Netgear Prosafe GS724T in mind... I could get it for €74... And that's quite a good price for a managed switch

And maybe also a suggestion for a 24-port patch panel?
