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


My Bluesound Node currently receives Wi-Fi, but I'd like to switch to a direct link. I assume that would be with an ethernet cable from the modem to the Bluesound - with possibly a better switch between the two.

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. 

Is there a piece of equipment or technology that I could help in this situation?

The OP @imaninatural mentioned a desire to move from wifi to wired. It was not stated what his/her reasons are. Is it in the hope of better audio quality? Or is it because the wifi has hiccups?

Hiccups can probably be mended with a wifi extender or a wifi-mesh setup.

I would not put my hopes up for improved sound quality if there already is enough bandwidth for lossless streams. They will reach your Bluesound Node without error, otherwise your Bluesound would not be able to update it's firmware without error.
