Panoramic Wifi Pods 2.0
I am debating about buying a couple of the Panoramic Wifi Pods 2.0. I see it has two Ethernet ports on it. Can one of them be used for a wired Ethernet backhaul? The rooms I want to put them in do have a wired connection. I figured I could run the wall cable to it and then the other out to the TVs. I just want to increase the signal strength and speed in these rooms.
Thanks!

It may be cheaper...and better...to add a router in these room with LAN ports.
Yes/no? We can find good ones!

I am going to buy a Wifi 6 router that can be used as an access point. That is probably better in my situation. I appreciate both widermouthopenand bruce for their suggestions.

The previous list only displayed routers at $250 or less. I updated not only for all price points but Mesh systems as well. I'll allow the "gear heads" to advise.

You should know that a new more powerful wifi standard is coming soon, version 6E, which will blow away all other wifi routers making them obsolete overnight.
6E devices offer “14 additional 80 MHz channels and [seven] additional 160 MHz channels. Google it.
