I have a lot of experience with wifi. At the end of the day, if your wifi is not installed in the proper place in your home it will never work properly. So, placement, not brand or service provider is what's important. Typically, a high, central location is best. Unfortunately, in our Village's homes this is usually on top of the kitchen cabinets. This is why Centric installs their router in this location when a new home is built.
As most know, I've helped many here in the Villages get installed with Quantum fiber and once you find the location that works, it works 100% of the time on all installations.
As far as wiring, sure direct ethernet is best but often these days, most have wireless computers and wireless streaming devices. The only time I'll have a room wired is when someone has a desktop computer near an ethernet jack.
If anyone needs some help, please reach out to me. This seems like a hard problem to solve but it's not.
