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

Repeater is also not mesh. With good mesh, the performance is not halved... But enough technical discussion. Wiring everything is the right approach. There are also mounting frames for suspended ceilings for the NanoHD. Then it is flush but still visible. There are also films with different decors (wood, concrete, stone...). For white ceilings, it is best not to do anything. At my parents' house, we sometimes placed them above the suspended ceiling. Small inspection hatch and the access point is then on top. Thus nothing is visible. Felt no performance loss. Measurable, but probably yes. showed the right approach. APs should be where the most performance is needed (office, living room...). Here you then have fast 5GHz band. The 2.4GHz band reaches further but is slower. Plan with empty conduit, installation cable, then keystone module, and then a short patch cable. This way you don't see any cable and continuity or the small installation space for the plug in the access point is no problem. I have dealt with this issue several times.

Good that you bring it up. It wasn't entirely clear to me why you need a keystone module and can't just mount an RJ45 adapter?

The space in the APs is so limited that a field-assemblable connector doesn't fit. Only with a lot of fiddling can you get a patch connector on and especially "in." Therefore, a keystone or some kind of RJ45 socket. You don't need a socket outlet.

That does not make sense to me. If space is so tight – why not go directly to the access point with the cable coming out of the ceiling? Is the [Keystone module] really smaller than a field-terminateable connector?

Because there is simply no space on the back of the Unifi Access Point for a field-assemblable connector. That’s why I also suggested a socket where you can "stuff" the cables + keystone module inside.

Therefore, I also find it important to know the desired devices in order to prepare everything correctly.

A box is not necessary either. Just an empty conduit with a diameter large enough to fit a keystone. A short patch cable to the keystone. You can then push any excess cable into the conduit. Mount the access point through the hole. Absolutely clean installation. If something ever breaks on the cable, it's the patch cable. The installation space in the access point is so tight that even patch cables are slightly bent... The same applies to most cameras. Only use a waterproof box outdoors.

Oh, I see. You can't reach the socket in the access point with the plug. Our empty conduits are too narrow for the proposal. Then we might have to chisel out a piece of the ceiling to make room.
