I own one Deco XE75 in our new home, but the signal weakens significantly at a distance. I have a Nighthawk RAX50 that’s not in use, so I considered using it as an access point. The issue is also that there’s only one Ethernet port in the wall, located behind the TV—if I install a router there, could it affect the TV’s signal? If I go with that setup, which would be the better choice for the main router? There’s another option: purchasing another Deco XE75 and using Wi-Fi 6E as a backhaul, avoiding the need to place a router behind the TV. In my opinion, this would be ideal. I’m unsure how much speed reduction would occur with Wi-Fi 6E as a backhaul.

Although the opposite might be possible, Ethernet supports speeds up to 100baseT, which is significantly quicker than many internet connections. Even at such high speeds, you might not realize it's happening.
