The statement from the initial post was clearly about the network and not TV.
What I still haven’t understood is the statement "set up a Wi-Fi network in every room."
Basically, the cable comes from the street to your house connection point. There you have, as already shown above, the amplifier and splitter. After that, a cable goes from the distributor to the designated rooms (or possibly several, depending on the planning).
For the internet, you definitely need a cable modem. Either the Vodafone box from Unitymedia (or now Vodafone) or your own/rented Fritzbox Cable (e.g. 6951).
For installation, you have two options now:
1) Central in the technical room (or your cabinet)
This means you connect your cable modem directly after the distributor and then lay the network cables to the various rooms, for example via a patch panel. However, there might not be enough space in the distribution box overall for this.
2) In one room
You will have several rooms with a TV socket; you can theoretically connect the cable modem there. But then distributing the network to the other rooms is no longer possible or very cumbersome, leaving only distribution via Wi-Fi.
How many rooms and square meters are we talking about that should be covered with Wi-Fi?
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.
