No, “replugging” won’t work, but the solution is almost as easy. Just run Ethernet cable up inside the wall from the original entry point, probably on an exterior wall, up to the attic, across to a more central wall, then down where you’d install a new Ethernet plug and plate. Then plug your router in that more central location. I had it done by a handyman. The cost of the cable and plate were more than the handyman’s labor.

Why or why didn’t I have this done years sooner? I also had a mesh system installed and from the new centrally-located router that really extended wi-fi speeds thruout the house, even out to the pool deck!
