Wi-Fi and network for a 250 m² apartment

Seamless Wi-Fi

We installed seamless Wi-Fi with roaming in a 250 m² apartment, using 2 indoor access points and 1 on the terrace, wired TV and workspace connections, and a UPS.

Apartment with a living room and workspace

The brief

The brief was to connect televisions and workspaces by cable, provide Wi-Fi in the living areas and on the terrace, and keep guest access separate from the owner’s personal devices.

250 m²

What we delivered

6 RJ45 outlets

We installed 3 connections for televisions, 2 for workspaces and 1 spare. All lines were routed to the switch and labelled.

3 wired access points

We installed 2 U7 Pro access points indoors and 1 outdoor U7 Outdoor on the terrace. All 3 use wired uplinks and PoE. Positions were selected using a predictive RF model of the layout and the heatmap of its predicted coverage.

Private and guest networks

We separated the owner’s devices and guests into 2 VLANs. Guests received internet access, with access to the private network and network management blocked.

Backup power for the network

We connected the gateway, PoE switch and provider ONT to a UPS to keep network equipment powered through short power interruptions.

Result

3 televisions and 2 workspaces were connected by cable, with 1 spare outlet installed.
2 indoor Wi-Fi access points and 1 terrace access point were positioned using the coverage plan.
Guest internet access was separated from the owner’s personal devices.
Each Wi-Fi network uses a consistent name, with roaming between access points for compatible devices.

UPS runtime depends on the connected load and battery condition. Internet access requires the provider’s external connection to remain available.
