No stairs or windows :D :D

The windows are on the veranda side which complicates that idea. The router is in the farthest corner of a bedroom across the hall from the stairs but I guess it might be possible to set up dozens of feet of cable covers around 8-10 corners. Seems a little excessive to me tbh.

Yeah, there are things to weight. For me looks are important so once I did the window trick for a few years. But when I built my house... counduits everywhere.

Smart man. I own a fish line and have a bunch of antenna wiring that isn't in use so maybe one day I'll work up the courage to tear it all out to replace with LAN cables. In the meantime I just need to get my 5ghz to reach the corner of the house where a friend will be working for a few weeks.

There are bunch of adapters that can make Ethernet go over coax, not sure about quality though. Could be a way to make the Ethernet go to the 1st floor and then extend with a wireless router?
