Planning electrical systems to be future-proof

Thank you for your feedback! My current plan looks like this for the following reasons: 1. The basement gets the access point in the office because I work there with the laptop and the printer. Otherwise, WLAN is actually not needed in the basement. 2. The ground floor gets the access point in the living room, as we spend most of the time there and the signal is also supposed to cover the terrace on the left side and the dining/cooking area. 3. A second access point is placed in the utility room, as my wife works there with her laptop and printer in the home office, and the signal should be sufficient for the terrace on the right side. 4. An access point in the hallway on the upper floor for the children’s rooms. We don’t have phones in the bedrooms and rarely/never need internet there. Could you please briefly explain to me what advantage it has in the basement to place the access point in the hallway instead of the office? I didn’t think it made sense to place the first access point on the ground floor between the partition wall and the outer wall, as it would then have a smaller "radiation radius" and be further away from the terrace on the left side. However, in my version, the partition wall between the living and kitchen area also remains.

1. Then it is fine that way 2. It can be done. I would still place it between the partition and exterior wall and prepare a cable for the terrace access point. There could possibly be problems with half-closed or closed blinds/shutters. I did it and that was the right decision. 3. It can be done 4. If no Wi-Fi is needed in the bedroom, then that should be enough.

That makes sense. The terrace faces southwest. Accordingly, we will spend a lot of time there in the summer with the venetian blinds closed. However, that would mean a third access point or giving up the access point in the utility room.

You wouldn’t forego an access point in the office/hallway despite the FritzBox in the technical room and the low WLAN demand in the basement, right?

Which APs do you want to use? Or have you already mentioned that? The ones from AVM require a power outlet, so you can simply try it out. With others, it would anyway make sense to disable the Fritzbox's WLAN so they don’t interfere with each other.

1. Would not want to do without the utility room. In any case, first prepare network cables for the terrace and install a third access point if needed.
2. Would not want to do without it either. With the Fritzbox, you then have a separate network. It's annoying when Wi-Fi switches back and forth between two networks.

Of course, one could use the fritz box for the guest network if other APs are used. However, this will not go far in terms of range. Depending on the APs, they may already have their own guest function.
