Oof, do NOT run a server over WIFI. If plain old Ethernet is not an option, get something like this which, no, is not cheap but will offer a MUCH better experience.

    I have a 2 story house (plus basement). I use Moca 2.5. House was built with coax to every room for cable TV. Everything that need high data use (tvs, gaming consoles, pc) gets hardwired. Everything else is on the two mesh routers.

    Just remember to put a MOCA filter on the line coming into your house from the street. Or disconnect it entirely, if you’re not using the cable connection. Otherwise you’ll be sending all your Internet traffic straight out the cable line to all of your neighbors.

    That is way too expensive.

    I got a white, flat Ethernet cable and stuck it to the bottom of the baseboard using a very thin double-sided tape. Totally invisible and super cheap.

    And I've been doing it for over 40. WIFI may be acceptable for certain applications, but it's never the best solution.
