ETHERNET CABLES
@samgar2 Verizon Fios routers are crap. The range is extremely poor. I never tried their extenders but I can tell you based on your description of your current setup, something like Amazon EERO would be a game changer and not just for streaming.  ...

@samgar2 that’s right. So when are you trying an upgraded cable?

@fredrik222 you can’t be helped. And I’m not even talking about ethernet cables here.
