Wi-Fi New Construction - Network Sockets/Cables

Why necessarily only one? The Unifi certainly will not go significantly further due to the already mentioned performance limitation...

Why necessarily only one? The Unifi certainly don't go significantly further either due to the already mentioned power limitation...

Was that referring to me? If yes, there was never talk of just one. I currently assume 3-4 plus outdoor for the NB. But I’m not upset about avoiding each one of those ugly things if I can. If it turns out that two Pros provide the same coverage as three or four nanos, the matter would be clear for me. Two Pros. If that’s not the case, then also three to four nanos, because they are less ugly. That’s why my question is whether you can say something concrete about the coverage (not bandwidth). I simply have to test it myself. Still, thanks.

You just need an empty box where the LAN cable comes out. Then put a keystone on the LAN cable, connect it to the access point with a short patch cable, and mount the access point on the box. Clean, simple, and better than with a socket...

Well, unfortunately I didn't plan for the empty box, so currently the CAT cable is just hanging from the ceiling. Probably not a problem upstairs, since the ceiling there is made of drywall (and you can shape that flexibly ;-) ), but downstairs it's a concrete ceiling. That will probably make it a bit difficult to hide the installation cable, won't it?

One could "make" a spacer ring between the concrete ceiling and the access point. In this cavity, you can hide a piece of installation cable with Keystone module and a short patch cable. The access point is then not completely flush against the ceiling. Someone here has already presented such a solution.

You will probably have to either drill a hole or install a junction box, for example, there are ready-made ones for cameras. It's not exactly nice, but that's the price for not thinking ahead:



If you know someone with a 3D printer, you can make something like that yourself a bit nicer. On the relevant platforms, there is surely someone who has already built that.

It's a shame that the planner lets you walk right into a trap like that.

Had the same problem, this is how I solved it:
