Mesh Wifi or …. (alien.top)

Looking at the Amazon eero kit, currently £85.99 on bf offer for the pro mesh 2 kit.

I basically have a dead wifi spot in one room… however i do have a free cat6 cable in this room, looped through the cieling etc down to the router.

If i want a seamless wifi is my only option mesh or… is there a setup where i can add a device to then end of the lan cable to get the same results?

Also how do we rate the eero kit?

Currently with virgin 500Mb, getting a little more than that throught the lan cable up to a gaming PC, but wifi non existent.

With wired backhaul there are less options. What are you currently using as your wifi access point?
