I just found out that newer flats have phone points that are wired to become LAN points as well. Since, I dont really use land line phones anymore, what will be the best way to connect these points to the internet?
Objective:
1. To have LAN points (in 3 bedrooms and 1 living room) wired to the internet
2. To have no wifi blind spots in the house (concern will be in the bed rooms)
Current thinking:
1. ONT >> Modem >> Network Switch >> a) All LAN points, b) 2 Unifi APs (one in living room, one in back of house near bed rooms)
or
2. ONT >> Modem >> 8 port wifi router (expensive?) >> a) All LAN points, b) 1 Unifi APs (one in back of house near bed rooms)
- in this set up, there will be two wifi networks, one from router, one from APs. Although i understand i can set up the same wifi network name for both)
*sorry, still bit confused about the use of a network switch vs a wifi router
