Why don't construction prices go down?

The question is, would you be unhappy in an existing house with normal outlets? I don’t think so, you just put a power strip on the windowsill for the Christmas lights. In any case, we put much less thought into the outlets. The kitchen was planned most intensively, the rest somehow fits.

PS: the builders with 1% financing should be done by now and even at those times not everyone could afford everything ;)

yes, I really would have been annoyed. It’s certainly doable otherwise, but the outlets in the apartment were already bothering me. I like our positioned outlets. Only with two light switches did we make a mistake. But we will change those at some point too.

A PS5 has Wi-Fi, Telekom with Magenta finally has Wi-Fi nowadays too. Newer TVs can now also do Wi-Fi. Toniebox, tablet, smartphone, and the laptop on the lap basically only rely on Wi-Fi…

I’m already sure that the expensively paid (170 EUR net each) data outlets in every room will never be used, at most those in the study, to extend the Wi-Fi upstairs.

uhhh nooo. Guess what happens with the Wi-Fi when junior is gaming online, the princess is streaming while on a video call with a friend, dad is gaming too, and I still dare to want to watch my series. It’s like a highway: it has only a limited number of lanes. If so many data cars want to rush along, there will inevitably be traffic jams. Nice if you can use another parallel lane to take particularly bandwidth-intensive consumers off the air. Our neighbor has only one LAN outlet in the house. Everything else goes via Wi-Fi. He’s really pissed off about that.

Funny. We have absolutely no problem when the TV is on, recording 2 films simultaneously, my daughter is on the tablet, and I come up with the idea to download a small SW update, usually around 15 GB.

250 Mbit fiber optic and there is a MESH repeater in my study.

Bad Wi-Fi equipment, I would say...

Certainly, a lot works well over Wi-Fi, but the Wi-Fi coverage must also be good for that. However, the access points must be connected to the LAN. The faster the internet connection, the more APs you need to be able to use the speed on the devices throughout the entire area. Additionally, every device on the LAN also relieves the Wi-Fi again. I don't find LAN pointless, and in the future, with increasing network speeds, one will be glad to have it.

No one said that LAN is completely nonsensical. But having 2 network sockets installed in every children's room and preferably 4 in the living room... I think that's nonsense. But we've had this discussion many times. I am a fan of the decentralized solution. A small switch per room that only runs and consumes power when needed... instead of a 24-port switch in the HAR that runs 365 days a year... Especially since, as already said... the girls' lives nowadays largely revolve around tablets and smartphones. So LAN cables are basically useless anyway.

uhh nooo. What do you think happens to the WLAN when junior is gaming online, the princess is streaming while on a video call with a friend, dad is gaming too and then I even dare to want to watch my series.

That's how it is, at least in some places. Those are my favorites again. Let all data traffic run over WLAN and when they lose the sniper duel, report the enemy widow for cheating.

Having LAN cables installed today is, in my opinion, unnecessary thanks to fiber optics and strong Wi-Fi. We have no problems being online simultaneously, and neither do the neighbors and their families.
