Number of network sockets; how to plan Wi-Fi in the new building?

Thanks for that!

Anyone who thinks they can solve everything with Wi-Fi in a modern house with current media equipment simply has no idea. If you are electronically abstinent, of course it works, but with some demands, Wi-Fi quickly reaches its limits.

following situation: Mrs. streams Grey’s Anatomy in UHD on the TV. Child 1 watches 4K YouTube on the phone Child 2 is Skyping on the iPad with a friend in Australia Child 3 is on TS and playing a round of Fortnite on the laptop The oven is currently downloading an update, 2 Alexas are humming along, and my four outdoor cameras are nervously filming passing sparrows, the two indoor cameras are suspiciously watching the cat. I enjoy the peace and want to play a round myself, and Steam starts the 10GB update. Nothing is happening in my house. Everyone is happy, I get myself another beer and go pee again, then the game is downloaded and I can get started. In your house the wife starts screaming because Dr. Slone begins to lag, K1 suddenly only watches videos in 160p and shouts loudly "DAD!!!", K2 only sees pixel mush and jumps stubbornly off the bed and makes their way to the basement to you, K3 throws his laptop against the wall as the ultimate rage quit, the oven reports an error and no longer turns on because the firmware crashed. And all just because you were too stingy to run a little cat7 in the wall?

Very cool! XD But then the Wi-Fi family just has to have a joint (board) game night, that’s also something nice!

That works, but not every evening, that also gets boring. Which brings us back to structured network cabling.

Nowadays simply a matter of necessity.

In my opinion, a LAN connection should be provided for stationary devices (TV, gaming PC, Apple-TV) so that enough bandwidth remains for devices that absolutely have to connect via WLAN (iPad, mobile phone).

Also, an addendum on the topic of music streaming specifically with Sonos: If one of the Sonos products is connected via LAN cable, SonosNet builds a proprietary WLAN and therefore should not burden the home WLAN. So, not all Sonos speakers need to be connected to LAN, one device is enough.

But then the Wi-Fi family just has to have a joint (board) game night,

A few months ago I saw a pretty nice comedy on TV, it was called "we are offline" or something like that. In it, a family went on a diet from being online all the time, and infected their entire neighborhood with it.

The Sonos Wifi mostly causes interference and problems. Therefore, turn it off and simply use LAN. Preferably in its own (V)lan. For IoT devices, this makes sense anyway.
