I've reviewed your setup idea. Connecting via a mesh Wi-Fi router could work, but you'll need to ensure the 6 GHz backhaul provides enough bandwidth for both devices without causing congestion. The distance of about 15 meters is reasonable, but signal strength may drop. Using a PC directly on the second router might reduce latency compared to longer Ethernet runs, but you'll still need good cable quality and possibly some power management. If you want cleaner cabling, consider a short Ethernet segment or a fiber link if available. Otherwise, this approach should be feasible with careful planning.
It may function, but be cautious when navigating numerous walls at 6GHz; even thin barriers can create interference at these higher frequencies. Another option is using readily available cable supplies to install through walls yourself, which can be cost-effective and teaches valuable skills for the future. If you prefer not to go that route, Ethernet over power line adapters offers a cheaper alternative, though performance may depend on your home wiring quality.
It's possible, but remember that 6 GHz operates differently from lower bands—it doesn't travel as well through solid walls. Thick concrete will block signals much more than others. Wood is more favorable for wireless transmission. For Ethernet, consider MoCA, which leverages existing coaxial cables already in your home and lets you connect devices across rooms without digging through walls. I use a few MoCA adapters to manage network traffic between mesh points, keeping my connection stable without having to run cables through the floor.
