If you use your on routers, get the new 6e or 7 routers, they make a huge difference. I use 4 6e mesh network routers and the new 6e features a backhaul of 2Gb speeds between the routers in wireless mode. But 2 of my 4 routers are hooked up by wired connections for better more consistent speeds.
If you want to use an older router, I got 2 I’ll sell you, they will work just fine in wireless bridge mode if you can’t hook them up wired.
You can buy th equipment to terminate the cables but if you do, get the tester too. It’s not as easy as you think, mainly because you’re lying on the floor terminating all your rooms, in the garage with a step stool, and on a ladder in the kitchen. I guarantee you when you terminate the cables, you will screw up the pairs going into the plug and only a tester will tell you if you did the job correctly. Galaxy wanted $900 to terminate my 6 cables in the house, that entails terminating the ends in the garage box and changing out the outlets in each room. I used to build enterprise networks 35 years ago, so bought the tools, the fluke tester, the the wall plates, and connectors for < $100 and did the work myself, so I saved $800. Remember they don’t give you a lot of slack cable in the outlet boxes so don’t cut off too much each time you put the terminator on, you might have to do it again.
Fibre networks like centric are far superior than copper networks like xfinity and spectrum. $40 for 100Mb or $65 for 1Gb, get the 1Gb, 100Mb is too slow
