You're working on extending your internet setup across the house. The east side already has the router, but the signal isn't strong enough for the west side. You're considering a 100-foot Ethernet connection to the west and another hub there. Regarding the second part, you're wondering if a shorter 10-foot Ethernet cable from that hub could reach your desktop without causing noticeable delays. Running multiple short cables can help reduce latency, especially if one is heavily used. You mentioned having two 30-meter cables available—this should work well for both the main extension and the backup connection.
To increase coverage, use a WiFi range extender and position it in the center of your home. It will link to your current network, restore full strength, and generate a new SSID for users outside the area. The setup is straightforward (especially with WPS support) and significantly more affordable than installing cables or additional hardware.
