How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?

The problem is that my modem is in the basement and the Bluesound is on a different floor. There is not a clear path for running cable. 

I've had issues like that and been amazed at what a pro installer could do to fish wire. A good electrician or network/alarm system installer can often work wonders. It's worth having one evaluate your situation.

.... streaming from Qobuz, Tidal, and others are actually not streaming, they are download at maximum available speed, and then that song is stored in a cache ...

No, streaming really is streaming, it's not something else. Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify all use streaming protocols.

... streaming in a truer sense is AM FM radio or analog TV ...

No, broadcasting is not streaming and downloading is not streaming either. Streaming is a specific protocol. These words have specific meanings, there's no need to redefine them.

I've encountered some folk who are under the impression wireless Wifi and a mesh system are two different things they are not,

Huh? All wifi is wireless. Many wifi networks are not mesh so yes, they can be two different things.

Mesh is not a daisy-chaining, as has been explained to you. You sound a little confused.

I’m still comfortable with explaining the Ai Mesh system as daisy chaining

That’s ok. Some people are comfortable being wrong.

... your comment is still no less dishonest ..

You’re being silly. If you truly think I’m lying and being dishonest, take your complaints to the moderators. The behavior you cite isn’t tolerated here.

unbunch them for Pete’s sake

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I stated earlier lets be civil in our communication I had people like you in mind.

I suggest you take whatever complaint you have about me to the moderators. I have no idea what your issue is.

@cleeds Yes, the streaming protocol has a name - it’s called TCP/IP ...

Of course. That’s exactly what I said:
