WAP (wireless access point) in the great room and a cat6 cable in the kitchen. Mine had to be terminated which I did. I setup a wired bridge mesh network with the cat6 cable above the cabinets so I don’t need a WAP. The xfinity modem/router is in a back bedroom with a cat6 cable so I go out from that bedroom into a switch in the garage network box, and there the cat6 connections go to all the rooms. Galaxy home solutions is lazy and didn’t terminate the cat6 cables for Ethernet, they punched down 2 pairs for phone (who uses a phone in each room nowadays?, plus galaxy wanted almost $900 to do the terminations. I bought the tools for $100 and did it myself.).
With my network I’m getting almost 800Mb wifi speeds throughout the house to the internet. Sure beats the 300-400Mb I was getting before I put in the mesh network
