Yep, unless you have the long term budget to commit to their ecosystem, don't

Actually iirc you can get reno contractor to run fiber, and TM can come and terminate from outdoor to indoor. That's how mine was done, the fiber was layed by reno con and TM just come and connect it to their own.

Basically don't use switches if possible and just put it all to one location instead of separating it. And doing it right below and above can also save cost to run the cables.



Looks about right, you can consider using one 5 port or 8 port 2.5G PoE switch as your core switch, connect it to both/three of your APs. Extra ports to connect to any downstream switches or direct connection at your rack/centralized location. If you don't plan to do any management stuff on your network and just PnP, can be done for quite cheap. I got a 2.5G PoE switch for about RM220 shipped, and it's managed by default.
