Ideally, you should run a cable from Nokia to Archer. But you could try WDS see how performance is like.

Actually, after shifting the Nokia router to the left edge of bathroom wall 1, the distance betwwen Nokia and Archer would be 6 feet. So I am assuming there wouldn't be too much loss in speed. Rigt now

So I did a rough estimation and need a wire of length 20m(10m each). Which one should I go for? Cat 6 or Cat 6a. I did not find cable of 10 m on Amazon so I will have to go for custom wire from hardware shop.
Any suggestions from Amazon?
 
even cat5e will do for Gigabit. The problem is that many cables mix aluminum and copper to reduce cost, this can cause problems in some cases.

Amazon has tons of bad cables like this. For 10m though these should still work, regardless try to go for pure copper cable.
 
Amazonbasics cate5e cables give full gigabit speeds. They are pretty flimsy though, so unless you are putting them in a housing, I wouldn't recommend them for longer distances.

I've never been able to find good quality lan cables on Amazon.
 
Are D-Link cables good? I am getting 10m for 500 rupees, so the total length(25) comes to around 1300.
While locally outside, I am getting the same length for 480 rupees. I cannot comment on how good it is but I am using his cat 6 cable and it works fine. The only downside is its grey in colour while I want black.

Last year brought 30m cat5e local cable for ₹300 from nearby market. Working fine connected to FE port.
 
D-Link cables used to be good when the last time brought them: 2004 or 2005 and they are still working today as of 2021.

I would suggest you to buy from local store Amazon seller seems to be cutting fat premium, even the lcoal guys due to WFH are charging a lot
 
I would have made some sense if cat 8 was charged this amount.. but ripping off in the name of brand is outrageous.

Finally, I ordered C6 v3 for the only reason that it has dual processor. The A6 newer version clearly sucks when it comes to range and I had my eyes on the V2 variant. But then since I am using lan ports and hence faster data processing will be needed in future, dropped V2 and went for V3.

Amazon and its stupid pricing games are back.. till yesterday it was ~2100, today its 2500. Ad not just this router, all the ones in my wishlist, A6, M12, Mr50 all jacked up by 300-400 bucks. Strange!!
