You can also overdo it. Quickly surfing with your phone or tablet can easily be done on 2.4 GHz. Such an access point on the ceiling, especially in the living/dining room, is not exactly the most beautiful thing, unless you have a suspended ceiling and can hide the access point underneath it. My access point (Unifi Accesspoint AC-Pro) for the ground floor is in the storage room and I can still play with my phone in the living room and even surf with my laptop without any loss. The access point (UniFi Accesspoint AC-Pro) in the attic is in the corner of the hallway and I have a great WLAN connection in the attic, even in the 5 GHz range. In the basement, there is a Fritz.box that provides WLAN in the basement and under the roof overhang hangs a Unfi Accesspoint-AC-M; with that I also have WLAN everywhere in the garden.

I’m coming out. I have 4 Fritzboxes distributed around the house. Didn’t feel like having to get into anything complicated. They do mesh, I’m happy. DECT works too (unfortunately no mesh, I’m unhappy). One in the upstairs office, one in the downstairs hallway, one in the basement connected to the fiber optic modem, and one with the tenant, who is connected via a guest network with us. The apartment is fully furnished for guest researchers with kitchen and WLAN.

4 Fritzboxes??? Or just Fritz repeaters/APs? 4 boxes are totally nonsensical. You'd have to turn off everything except Wi-Fi on the others. Or do you run the 4 as routers? Fritzbox + APs on LAN is also a good solution. Also easy to administer with Fritz. Which APs you use depends on the requirement, budget... With mesh, you can't just switch the manufacturer.

Actually 3, I don't see the fritz directly, because it's there anyway as a modem^^

At the parents' house, I installed the large Netgear Orbi system this week. Two floors of 160m² each and the thing works great all the way out into the garden. In the house, thanks to the year of construction 1985, there is not a single network cable.
