I really don't need anything more than 50mb/s down or something. I would prefer to keep budget as small as possible. wifi range extender with ethernet port TP-Link TL-WA850RE N300 WiFi Range Extender 2.4GHz (300Mbps) 1x100Mbps TP-Link AC1750 WiFi Range Extender TL-RE450 TP. Having it boost a wireless signal is not an option, there is not an outlet in a good spot that allows for this. But it wants to boost only a wireless signal - if we plug it into the router, the signal is just as bad, making me think that it wants to only boost a wireless signal. I was imagining buying an extender, which we already have placed in the living room to help give a better connection upstairs, and this thing ( ) works great for that. Now imagine I want to get wifi in my garage. So, we have like a 50 ft cat6 cable going into the router from the modem and it's placed in the center of the actual house itself. The modem is basically forced to be in the basement because of the way it was wired (super short) and our basement is a glorified dungeon made for people who are 4 ft tall - basically just gross as hell. The easiest way for me to do this (and hopefully the most affordable) is to connect something from my router, as it is quite far from my modem. Okay so I guess I'm basically looking for a second router. Imagine having a garage detached from your house and you need wifi in there for video calls. I understand extender placement - but like I said, the layout is weird. When it amplifies it, you get coverage to your room. put it outside slightly nearer to the main router so it gets like 2/4 bars signal. so if you get 1/4 range in your bedroom, do not put the extender in the room. When ran in extender mode, single/dual band extenders cut throughput 50 because they have to use the same chip to go router-extender and then extender-device.

If its extending the range, it connects to your wifi and amplifies the signal. I am confused why you need a ethernet input.
