If you don't need more than the four ports, no additional switch is necessary. If no other network infrastructure is planned in the house, I assume the usage is not on an intensive nerd level, right?

Well, define nerd level. But yes, I would rather classify us as standard users (Netflix, AppleTV, Sonos, laptop via Wi-Fi - that's it...) We have a total of 5 double sockets to supply, but not all of them are fully used initially. I will buy a switch later if the 4 LAN ports of the Fritz Box are no longer sufficient. Maybe some recommendations regarding the switch?

This is really funny, but probably not the reality for most. Too many children, often not at home, and thankfully there are enough without screens and online in life. Smart Home is good for the companies, a funny gimmick for the end users. Nobody needs it.

Then it's best to turn off the wifi in the FritzBox if an access point is installed nearby (outside the metal cabinet).

Don't know exactly what kind of box it is from Telekom. But Fritzboxes have their own modem. Double NAT is to be avoided.
It might also be an all-in-one device. Maybe without wifi? You should inform yourself so that you don't buy and operate unnecessary devices. Do you need the Fritzbox because of the phone?

You have planned LAN sockets in all rooms. They will all be connected to your patch panel. The Fritzbox has four LAN ports. That means a maximum of 4 sockets can be patched.
That will certainly not be enough for you. Therefore, a small passively cooled switch (max. 100€). It is still more powerful than the switch function of the Fritzbox.

This is almost certainly that white, square Telekom fiber optic modem with the "rounded corners." It does no NAT at all; it is a pure modem. You could even connect a switch directly without a router. Therefore, you don't have to worry about double NAT.

thanks for the clarification. So just connect the Fritzbox to the Telekom box.
