Networking gurus help me out.

  1. I have an Optus 5G home internet modem. The signal isn’t quite strong enough to work reliably downstairs.

  2. I have 5x Deco M5 mesh wifi units from our last place. However my experience is that it lost bandwidth and was a bit unreliable.

  3. The new place has ethernet points in each room which appear to be a hub and spoke model centered in the laundry room.

Question: Could I ethernet wire my 5G modem to the hub, have some hub/switch/router in the laundry, then ethernet to the Deco M5’s? This way I would get wifi everywhere but not be reliant on a mesh, rather ethernet.

Alternatively: Is there something I could use other than Deco M5 mesh to get reliable wifi throughout the house with minimal loss of bandwidth?
