Think about ways to boost Wi-Fi speed across your home since the modem is on the opposite side. Look for solutions under $500.
The most affordable option is to run an ethernet cable to the opposite side of the house and install a wireless access point. The choice of router and access point will affect how you configure it, whether the setup is straightforward or requires manual adjustments.
You can connect your coaxial cable with MOCA adapters. I’m using two to establish a gigabit link to my downstairs Netgear Orbi satellite, and it’s performed exceptionally well since last summer. It’s the top solution if you prefer not to run Ethernet cables. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Sure, you can lay an Ethernet cable inside your home, but keep in mind that the farther the cable extends, the slower the connection becomes—until UTP reaches about 100 meters (328 feet). For UTP Cat 1 through 7, and UTP Cat 8, the maximum distance is around 80 meters (262 feet). Also note that each router’s NIC has its own bandwidth cap, so it should match or exceed your ISP speed.
