All in one router, switch wireless?

I have given up on the idea of a wifi, gigabte switch, router all in one.
What im trying to do is go from my virgin router/wifi which is in my lounge to a 8 or 16 port poe gigabyte unmanaged switch, ideally i want the gigabyte switch outside as i want to run all he cables outside and i dont want the switch located inside and having to ru. 8 or 16 cables through a wall all in the same place. I want the wiring outside and i can just come into the house where its needed.
Hope it all makes sense.

Im here to learn as my knowledge of networks is limited, the reason i want to run cables outside is because i use a wheelchair and i cant get upstairs to lift floorboards so its much easiier for me to run them outside. If I could get a all in one wifi, router, switch i would but i still have to get 8-16 cables through wall.
I got virgin router and i just want to put a couple of ethernet access ports in rooms. I thought having switch outside would be a good idea. If i was to have a unmanaged gigabyte switch theen all devices can access internet at the same time? And if i was to send something to printer that will still allow devices to be connected to internet, i think its yes to both questions

Is this switch ok? I will just go from router to switch and then send then route the cables to the places i need..
I will keep switch inside, with this switch it will provide power to a camera with out having a addition wire for power going to the cable. I think...

Currently i just want to run 3 tv, 1 printer, 1 camera but that has only power, 1 pc, 1 ps4 , 7 devices in total but i have a little one will want his own pc plus i would like to add cameras and a server to store data etc. So 16 in total for future proofing, as fof cameras i would just but them to suit the 16 port unmanged switch
