Got fed up with my basement WiFi speeds despite upgrading to Google WiFi 6E a in May. Tested out some CAT6 cable to try and run the basement mesh point in backhaul mode, ran it through my living room, down the stairs to test it out.
It worked like a charm. Close to 600mb a second speeds just like I get in the main router connected to my modem upstairs. Satisfied, I drilled a small hole in the floor behind the living room entertainment center, ran it through the crawl space, and bingo, my days of slow speeds, lagging meetings, and other annoyances are over. I wish I'd done this sooner but wasn't sure how hard it would be to go through the floor.

- Years ago, as soon as I switched providers, the first thing I asked them to do was run the cable to the router in the basement. Cost: zero euros ;)OBBTKN
