   @piraat @Tupp_ed I use the Alien Amplifi for this. Decent speeds and I bought 2 of the base stations, so I have Ethernet ports in both locations.

     @Tupp_ed
     I've been considering a less invasive method recently, some WiFi access points (like a TP-Link TL-WA1201) can be used in a "client mode" effectively making them a very high gain WiFi adapter that can then be plugged into a network switch to provide multiple Ethernet connections to an area, assuming very fast Ethernet like 10Gbit isn't required this avoids the need to wire the house/building.

     Ethernet wiring homes is difficult and will annoy your family. But did you know you can stick an adapter box on Co-axial cable wires and use them as Ethernet?
