My lad uses a long cable to the router for massive downloads it’s much, much quicker as our 900mb internet was outrunning the Wi-Fi.
This is the way.
My cable management is a bit silly creative because I have interior walls a foot thick and wooden floors throughout downstairs. But I have hardwired fibre ONT > primary router > switch (small S), then I've got the main Xbox (I have three, don't judge me) and a Raspberry Pi running various network shenanigans plugged directly into the switch. Net result, 100GB download, no worries, that gives me time to go make a coffee and a sandwich.
Any self respecting IT engineer you should have access to a ‘Get Out Of Jail Free’ 10m Ethernet cable.
Prior to the house move I had almost a full roll of the stuff, probably a couple of hundred metres.
