Have a skim through this page, never personally used the in-walls yet. But heard good things about them.

https://inwall.ui.com/

Basically just APs but fit to the wall like a faceplate instead, so you just wire in the wall to the back of it (therefore see no cabling).

They also have 2x ethernet ports so you can use them as a mini switch too, to wire in any devices.

Apologies for thread hijacking, but can anyone with a Ubiquiti AP confirm / deny the Amazon reports of the PoE injector making a whining noise?
Thinking of buying one, but depending on where I end up putting it that might be an issue.
I could always buy a third party unit to do the PoE but that's added cost.

I guess the person got unlucky neither of my 2 make a whining noise.

I honestly haven't noticed, but they aren't in places where I'd hear them even if they did. Mine are also older so it might be a model change. They joy of amazon is you can just send stuff back.

The first link in the first reply is to the Ubiquiti page for their in wall APs. It's about the size of a double socket but in portrait. It is designed to fit over an EU single back box or a US standard backbox.

You said you have network points in the rooms of your house, so you remove the faceplate put an rj45 on the end of the cable behind it and plug it into the back of the AP and just screw it to the wall. There are a few videos ton YouTube showing them.

If you get one of those, you don't have to run new cable, it gets POE and has 2 gig ethernet ports on the bottom so you don't lose anything. One will also give POE if you needed it, the other is just vanilla.

You'd just need to buy either a POE injector or a switchtto do it, but if you only need 2 injectors to cover the whole house, it would be cheaper than a switch.
