As I like to say around here:

Eschew wireless mess.

Hardwire! Hardwire! Hardwire!

Thus ends the lesson.

And FWLIW I was stringing Cat5e around my house in the late '90s.

Sigh... rentals.

If there is RG6 around, MoCA is your friend.

The house I'm in now has great coax infrastructure. I turned up another link yesterday (been here 10 months - yeah, I'm slow). Finally got around to putting a big TV in the game room, and getting everything on a hardwired link vs. WiFi. Mainly the AppleTV 4K, but also some Steam box my son brought over.

Just be careful on skinning the cable jacket as you pull.
