If you are going to do multiple access points and one network then you will probably end up with mesh units and they don't use PoE. Just something to think about.
Also, a really good access point with beam forming and all that located centrally can cover a large house easily. You may not need several units if you get a good spot.

Got it. The idea is to have one network with a modem/router that broadcasts a signal.
Then two access points. They won’t be used until later for the most part but I’d still like them.
If I were to use mesh units that would essentially void the work I did for Ethernet right? Everything would be Wi-Fi based with the mesh?
I was looking at the net gear orb and saw good reviews but I wanted everything hardwired and hidden.
