Downstairs we only have the TV which is uses Wifi , laptops and phones. The devices upstairs are more essential for a wired connection. I considered running cat6 ethernet but the office is at the back of the house and the room currently with the modem is at the front so would be a major job.
One thing often overlooked that I did recently was to ethernet connect my sons bedroom at the upstairs front of the house to the router in the ground floor back room - by running the cable "externally" around the house.
It was surprisingly so easy for us to do. Our 1930's brick built house still has several perforated "air bricks" so the external grade cable was easily passed out thtrough the one nearest the router - pinned to the external wall - then came in via the airbrick in that bedroom.
I appreciate it wont be that easy in all cases - just that you may have to think of these sorts of routes too (under floorboards, out/in via a window frame hole, etc) before giving up. Although if moving the Hub for £25 will sort it then its no contest 🙂
