So… My parents house has walls and windows ! Now comes the question on what to do about wiring the whole network.

The internet provider router will have to be at a precise location, the network cabinet (is that the correct term ?) will be located in the basement 20/25 meters away.

We will have 8 wired cameras, 7 wifi hotspots (2 in the basement, 1 outside, 1 in the garage, 3 for the living area), 8 wired wall sockets.

I looked into tplink’s ethernet backhaul feature and I guess it just makes sense, with wiring all of the hotspots, no worries about the basement and ground floor or the outside hotspot not correctly connecting.

The current wiring I’m currently thinking about is to have the internet provider’s router wired to the main wifi hotspot (located in the basement) with a rj45 cat 8.1.

This main wifi hotspot is wired to a 48 port switch, and all the wiring is done from this switch.

Is there a problem in doing this ? what would you do differently ?

Another solution would be to have the router wired to a 24 port switch, the cameras and various rooms are connected to it, the main wifi hotspot is also wired to it and also to an 8 port switch for the wifi hotspots.
