WLAN repeater or access point?

Crimping a connector onto the installation cable is possible, but it's not nice – especially if the cable has to be bent anyway. What speaks against a proper socket?

Good question. Common access points are designed to sit flush against the ceiling and be connected to the LAN from the back via a connector. I just don't want to impose a socket on anyone, with the access point next to it and then 15 cm of cable. Unless the access point also covers the socket, then you need a very short cable with two connectors. That would probably be quite cramped spatially. Maybe someone has a few photos of their setup handy ... (BTW: In our house, I only have normal network sockets at a normal installation level, i.e., 30 cm above the finished floor. I don’t have ceiling outlets; we should have had that done on the upper floor. Since the ceiling is suspended, I could have pushed a cable with a connector end a little. Besides the annoying smoke detector, an access point wouldn’t stand out much either. Well, now the thing is going on the wall next to the socket ... I can occasionally take pictures when I have bought and installed the access point ...)

You don't have to put anyone through that either.

I do it with connecting cables - in my opinion, it simply belongs and is not a foreign object. At least on the ground floor, I also have anthracite-colored sockets, even for the ceiling outlets. If I were "ashamed" of it, I would have made them white.
