Number of RJ-45 sockets "network sockets" - What makes sense?

I read selectively and read:

Glasfaserkabel

die Vorteile

(unnötige) RJ-45

nur vier RJ-45 Netzwerkdosen

WLAN

And now I had to check whether the calendar actually said April 1st. But it did not.

Certainly, different approaches can be followed, but! (and this also applies without fiber optic) every wireless network affects the other wireless networks and every device affects the other devices, even if only by slowing them down. (for technical questions please contact the experts)

And now you basically get the Ferrari delivered to your door and say to yourself... okay, a gravel path to the garage is also enough to drive over. Yes, of course that is enough, but how about fresh asphalt straight from the Nordschleife? That would definitely be cooler...

In this sense, wherever later a TV, a gaming console, a PC, a printer, a WLAN access point, or a phone is supposed to go, a double socket. If you want luxury, then also in the kitchen, where the heating (with connection?) is, the washing machine, etc. pp.

Certainly, you can overdo it, but if you start with 8 sockets, in my eyes that is not overdone.

We:
Living area (3x)
Bedroom (1x)
each children's room (2x)
each floor hallway (1x)

= 10 sockets with 2 connections each

Somehow the initial post reads as if the electrician is asking for some kind of exorbitant prices.

I can only agree with my predecessors. At least a double socket per room is already considered standard equipment today and not a luxury.

Briefly about the satellite sockets. Does the electrician also lay the cables in such a way that they can be pulled back out of the empty conduits and LAN can be installed? Do the satellite cables also end where the LAN cables centrally end?

I also think, for example, basement rooms should be equipped with network sockets. These suddenly become hobby rooms and often require a good and fast internet connection.

Since a fiber optic connection was also mentioned. Don’t forget the network socket next to the fiber optic house entry. Usually a fiber optic modem is installed there and from there it goes via LAN to the central point.

PS: I have been racking my brains for days on how to get a network socket into the bathroom in our old building with little effort!

We:
Kitchen - 1 outlet for the refrigerator (possibly needed someday)
Living room wall - 4 outlets (TV, receiver, PS4, one still free)
Living room back wall - 3 outlets for printer and fireplace control unit and possibly PC/server
Opposite the living wall - 2 outlets for vacuum robot and telephone
Children's room and bedroom - each room one double outlet

Never rely solely on Wi-Fi. The outlets are not that expensive that I might regret it later. And you won’t add more later either.

This is still a big discussion for us. My husband wants to do a bit more with WLAN than I do.

He wants to go directly from the basement to the living room, put the FritzBox there, then back to the basement and distribute from there. He thinks it’s enough that we have them in all the bedrooms, living room, and study, and the rest should run over WLAN.

I would distribute directly from the basement and put the FritzBox there. You don’t have to access it that often anyway, so you can also go down to the basement. Additionally, I would put a double socket in every basement room, because the concrete basement really blocks everything. It already annoys me that I have no mobile reception there.
I would put 4 at the living room wall unit. One or two in the kitchen working area (near the stove, coffee machine) and 2 behind the fridge. Study and/or sewing room 2 or 4. Kids’ rooms two each and bedrooms 2. Oh, and I would also put 1 in the bathrooms [emoji16] And then for WLAN on the ground floor and upper floor.

My husband thinks that’s exaggerated. It would cost 120€ through our construction company. I think in the beginning, just do it, then have the rest done directly by the electrician. If that gets too expensive, I would do it as an EL with my brother-in-law.

Cables are just cables.

We’re having the same discussion about sockets [emoji85][emoji23]

Why is Wi-Fi overrated? I live in 75 sqm, one floor, and everything runs perfectly with Wi-Fi. Streaming on TV, 4 phones streaming (e.g. YouTube), internet radio running on Echo, all at the same time (for testing). The range is the same, TV stream switches to HD after 2-4 seconds, and at the other end of the house, the printer still has excellent reception. Even on the terrace full reception and on the other side, in front of the front door up to 3m. All this with one Wi-Fi spot. For a house, 2-3 Wi-Fi spots per floor should be more than enough?
Best regards

Let me guess. You don’t live with 2 teenagers, do you?
