The picture is from an identical house where the electrical installation is already done.
I will get the same connection in my house.
I will get a fiber optic connection.

Well, unless that's a bit sugarcoated

Then there's the setup. You might know Fritzbox for years, it's basically just plugging things together. Ubiquiti is a whole different world, starting controllers and so on, the stuff isn't really intuitive.

24 Port Switch 130
8 Port Switch 80. OK, it has 4x POE and 4 normal ones.
3 Ubiquiti Accesspoint Lite 230
The rest for an FB and small stuff.
I got the FB for free from the provider, but it doesn't have to be the high-end model either.

You can't get the exact amount, but it's not unrealistic either.

I know that this is all comparing apples and oranges, but you would actually have to go ahead and replace the 3 FBs with 3 Access Points. For a better comparison, then also 3 4-port switches, exactly as many ports as with the FBs. If I assume €25/piece, the whole thing shifts enormously... They don't have POE, but the injectors are included with the Access Points. If the small switch is hanging next to it anyway, it doesn't matter.

And they don't necessarily have to be Ubiquiti.

Now back to the OP. In the picture there is a patch panel (basically a network socket with many connections). If I interpret it correctly, there are 5 individual sockets in the house. What do you get? Double or single sockets? I prefer double sockets, but with BT you're not always completely free in the choice. With double sockets, always make sure that 2 cables are fully terminated and not the good old sparing wiring, otherwise only max. 100 Mbit can pass through the line.

With a double socket, you could place the router in the living room. One cable connects the router to the fiber optic connection and the LAN returns on the second cable to the patch panel. There the switch distributes it to the other rooms. Now you can install a suitable access point for the router (AVM) on the upper floor. The AVM devices don't have POE, but are quite easy to set up for the average user.

With single sockets and the router in the utility room, you have different options in the living room. For example, you can place another FB in the living room. You then have 3 additional LAN ports for other devices. If you put an access point in the living room, you need a switch if multiple LAN ports are occupied.

As you can see, there is not just one solution, it primarily depends on what kind of wiring is installed and what your wishes are: only WLAN or a WLAN and LAN combo? Basically, it is important that the router or access point is placed as high and free as possible and not in or behind furniture, on the floor, or under cables.

Thank you for your detailed answer. Planned are single sockets each in bedroom, office, kids room and living room. Then I also planned a socket for the AP upstairs with POE. In the living room I am still very unsure whether to place an AP there or an additional FritzBox for WLAN.

Does the interaction between the two FritzBoxes and the AP then work flawlessly?
