I am renovating my double storey house, thinking how to make the wifi full coverage in my house.

Should I pull the LAN(cat 6) cable on each point? Or I should use Mesh network instead of pull cable? Which one is more stable and useful in the future?

Standby at least 1 LAN Cable at each floor, use CAT6 shd b good enuf.

Hi all. I’m currently in renovation for my double storey corner lot and thinking this question as well.

Unifi installed a modem and router at the centre of my house (second floor) few years ago. And since we are in renovation, I’m thinking this issue need to pay attention on it.

a) Since you guys prefer to install CAT 6a cable first, is that mean, let’s say I have six bedroom, one living room and one kitchen, I need to install eight cable from the router to the relevant bedroom and etc?

b) How about CCTV cable?

As I think it might cheaper to buy it from Taobao, hence thinking for a plan and need your assistance.

Depends on ur budget and usage. Can lay LAN point for each rooms, family/living area. Or each floor put 1 LAN point, next time use WiFi AP.

For CCTV, Corner house usually need 6 to 8 points outdoor to cover all area.

May I ask Wi-Fi AP means lan point?

AP mean Access Point, something like router, for WIFI.
It need connect via LAN Cable to Main Router.
