Ok guys, before I send my son under my house to run cable for me

those of you more technologically inclined than I am tell me if this will work.

This is the router I have

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09G5W9R6R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Because of my expansive estate, the wifi barely reaches the back bedrooms.

So I bought another router and this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09G5W9R6R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Can I run the cable from the front room router to the back of the house and plug in the other router to get better signal?

Need an answer quick. In an hour I'm greasing up my son to run the cable

I think you need mesh, not these things.***

I don't have mesh. I do have a roll of barbed wire though and I don't know why***

If you become the regional head ball inflator you might be able to pay someone to do this stuff for you

You don't need a 2nd router. Just get a wifi extender. You don't have to run

cable to it, either. You can still send your son under the house.

I've tried multiple types of extenders. 4 inches is still 4 inches doe***

This is the cheapest and, ergo, for you, the best answer

I have two of them, and I can walk around my yard and still have full connection

You can buy "like new" Eero mesh on Amazon.

Get two of them for a total of $66 + tax and delivery as early as tomorrow.

This is exactly what I have. Reaches 400 ft outside the house.

"Like-New Amazon eero mesh WiFi router"

Is there such a thing that tells these mesh sytems how far to shoot?

my wifi doesn't quite go as far as I'd like, but 400 ft would mean all my neighbors could try and get some wifi outta me.

Absoultely. You can adjust that with the parabolic disregumatrix camber switch.***

For real, just put a decent password on it and you should be fine.

Eero and probably others have an app that will show you every device connected to the router, so you can even block some devices if you need.
