Hi, my house is a 2,200sqft apartment and I plan to lay down LAN cable at each room.

Internet usage is work & media streaming only.

1. POE switch (blue) - not sure yet which model or brand yet. Will connect to modem & NAS.
2. TP-Link EAP613 x 1 (purple) - living room https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-network...g-mount/eap613/
3. TP-Link EAP235 x 5 (red) - at each room & wet kitchen https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-network...te/eap235-wall/

All equipment will be connected via LAN.

Is this setup overkilled for my house size or is there a better alternative? Reason I chose EAP235 in each room is just in case there's a future need to use LAN connection.

All feedbacks greatly appreciated. Thank you.
