Internet installation

Dahouetin -  

Hello

I'm renovating a house and fiber arrives to the house

my electrician will install a patch panel in the garage as well as the modem/router

he will also install several RG4 outlets in the house and a Wi-Fi receiver

is this the right solution for Wi-Fi throughout the house (I have stone walls)

thanks

    Hello,

    These will certainly be RJ45 outlets to be installed; RG4 does not exist.

    How many outlets will be installed? Generally a box offers 4 output outlets

    As for the wifi, what do you call a "Wifi Receiver"?

    What surface do you need to cover.

    For me the best solution is to use a Wifi Mesh system like TP-Link Deco. wifi 6 or 7.

    We connect a module either directly to the box or to one of the outlets in a room, and if needed several others to place where we want to cover space (2 modules should be enough)

    It's very hard to catch a black cat in a dark room.
    Especially when it's not there...

      Hi,

      we can also take advantage of the RJ45 cabling to connect the Wi‑Fi mesh access points to the box, achieving what is generally called a backhaul ethernet for the mesh wifi. They usually have several RJ45 ports, so we connect the wall outlet port to the access point, possibly multiplexed (internal switch).

      P.S. with a Wi‑Fi mesh nearby, you disable the box's Wi‑Fi, especially when it’s at the communications cabinet in the garage.

      On the other hand, it isn’t the job of a general electrician to install Wi‑Fi access points; he should be content with the RJ45 outlets. What is the Wi‑Fi receiver in question?

      And there you go, there you go...
      But good heavens, these line breaks are tedious!!
