Thanks for the detailed answer. So, of course, not Wi-Fi in every room but only over two floors plus LAN for TV, about 180m², very open design. If I understand correctly, this means I still have to have splitter and amplifier installed by a Unitymedia technician for the connection of my Connect Box? Then patch, switch, and access point done.

Quick question: is this a condominium or a detached house?

//Edit: Ok, understood condominium.

Then it will probably be set up as follows: The cable enters somewhere in the basement of the house at the house transfer point. The amplifier and splitter (for the house) will also be installed there. You usually find that near the electricity meters.

Then a cable goes from there to the distribution box in your apartment. According to your picture, a 4-way splitter is installed there, which splits the one cable into 4 cables again. These cables then go from the distributor to your 4 rooms.

I don’t see any network cables there, so I’ll leave that topic out for now. Or do you have a network socket installed in the rooms?

From my point of view, you have two options: 1) simple variant -> connect the Unitymedia cable modem (Vodafone Station or Fritzbox) to the TV/multimedia socket in any room and then use Wi-Fi in the other rooms. 2) the more complex variant -> replace the 4-way splitter with a 5-way splitter and install the cable modem in the distribution cabinet. But this is more difficult because of limited space, and if you go from 4-way to 5-way, the signal must be measured and adjusted again, because due to the resulting attenuation it might no longer be sufficient.

I assume you have a TV/multimedia socket in 4 rooms? Or do these still have to be installed?

Yes, it is an open loft in a former factory! Newly renovated!

You are right, there are 4 TV/multimedia outlets distributed and next to them 4 network outlets! There are network cables in the cabinet as well? The five orange ones? What surprises me is that there are five of them but only 4 outlets. I'll try to post a picture shortly in the hope that something can be recognized.

Here is the picture, a bit hard to recognize, next to the TV socket there should be a network socket?? It is next to every TV socket in the house!!
