    Hello. I live in single family house. The ISP is inea in the 500mb option. The huawei HG8245H router in gpon technology is added to the service. It is located on the first floor and unfortunately distributes the wifi signal only on this level.
    On the upper floor there are guest rooms and a bathroom. So I don't need internet there.
    My question is as follows:
    What is best to do / buy to have wifi also at the very bottom of the house?
    Thank you very much for every hint
    best regards

    Additional WIFI points connected to the main router _cable_.
    Ew powerline adapters, but here the speeds can be mediocre at 500mbs.
    For me, powerline adapters (TL-PA4010KIT) slept on 35mbs two rooms.

    As you want fast WIFI, it's only WIFI "ac", 5ghz, devices need to support 5gz ac also.

    Read the alphabet for increasing WIFI coverage

    Yhym.
    And is it possible that, for example, from this main huaweia HG8245H high-class rj45 cable, pull it down and put the router somewhere, I was thinking about tp link archer c5? And of course, configure it somehow?

    Of course they support and about ac technology just thinking about

    very good idea, go to work.

    The CAT 5e twisted-pair cable will be OK, some brand name, e.g. Madex

    So I understand that it is doable. Could I contact you in case I can't cope with the configuration?

    This is just one more little question.
    Tp link archer c5 is a good choice? Do you have any practical knowledge about it?

    the lump

    What budget?
    The Ubiquiti Unifi series is said to be doing very well.
    I had 2 tplinks in the building, they did not give advice, I replaced it with a unifi, it was flying.

    PLN 500 I think it should be enough

    I will just add that the router will have one wall to cover, 2 rooms next to each other

    I think one wall is OK, more worry about interference than other networks.

    Are you talking about neighbors' networks or other disruptions? I do not have any neighbors close to me and I do not find any networks. Unless we're talking about some electronic equipment :)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around improving WiFi coverage in a single-family house using a Huawei HG8245H router provided by the ISP Inea. The router is located on the first floor, resulting in poor signal distribution to the upper floor. Suggestions include using additional WiFi access points connected via Ethernet cable, considering powerline adapters (though speeds may vary), and potentially replacing the existing router with a TP-Link Archer C5 or a Ubiquiti Unifi series router for better performance. The importance of using CAT 5e twisted-pair cables for connections is emphasized, along with considerations for interference from electronic devices and neighboring networks.
