What's the best way to wire up my router to multiple devices with a 50-100 feet gap?

True I have my eyes on the 8 port one too. But I've thought about it and don't really think I would need more than 4/5 ports for at least the next 5 years or so. Hence planning for this one.
 
So it's done. The switch is inside the room and got 2 more wires done for laptop and till the AP. Got charged 50/m for 68m, 20 per ethernet switch/port, 980 for correcting my already installed IP camera system and GST at 18%. Now the LAN is giving me decent pings, jitter is low and overall seems to be quite good. 1 thing left to test out is the laptop to laptop transfer over the LAN.

Oh and the unmanaged switch I bought works perfect too.
 
About 5.3K Including the IP camera + the cost of the switch.

I'll check again but I'm pretty sure mine said 1000 Mbps or similar. Will update in a few.
 
Speeds on extender are always dicey, do expect drops in speeds as shown by your iPad. IMO, having a simple secondary router would help you if speeds are a concern.
 
Not really concerned, and am happy that the extender performs better after converting to an AP (compared to a wireless extender earlier).
 
Ok, was not aware repeater was being used under AP mode. Thought it was wirelessly connected over bridge(wds) mode.
 
So about 1 week in and getting a wired connection done has been probably 2021's best decision of mine lol. I knew it would help but the reduction in my frustration while working from home over a wifi connection has been reduced post the LAN setup.

All 5 ports on the switch are now in use, and I find there to be no need for more ports. Buffering/lags on TV, PS5, YT, etc have reduced. 😍
 
Yup, Simar experience here. Wifi(5Gh) though good, still lacks in coverage when it comes to LAN. Think I spent ₹1600 wisely.
