What's the best way to wire up my router to multiple devices with a 50-100 feet gap?

Bumping this thread since I plan to tweak my setup. The TP-Link AC750 extender is going to be shifted. And its place, I need a more powerful range extender. Should throw the wifi over a larger area.

Any recommendations?
 
You can go for a point to point wireless solution since wires are not allowed.
Sorry, I didn't read through this thread so don't know if it was already suggested.
 
My existing AP has ethernet, I just need a more powerful one.
 
I did this for my parents house recently and used this as an AP:

The primary router is a Netgear R6400 on the ground floor and this is on the first floor connected through gigabit ethernet to it. I was getting full speeds (300 Mbps) throughout the house. I used the same WiFi network name but different channels so devices switch seamlessly between the two routers.

I was planning to get a WiFi 6e based mesh first but realized it's overkill for my parents usage.
 
Hmm, this seems overkill for my usage lol. I like the form factor of AC750, just wanted something more powerful than that.
 
You are looking for a Long Range AP, which are not exactly cheap. Instead get another cheap AP and set up Fast Roaming. TP-Link has their own proprietary OneMesh thing which doesn't require any configuration.
 
Bumping this thread back up since this setup of the wire outside my house lasted about 3.5 years before it conked off. I did a visual inspection wherever I could but I didn't find any cuts or tears in the ethernet wire.

Any easy way to check this at home without calling a professional?
 
What cable did you use? CAT 5e? What do you mean by conked off? Did it stop working or speed step down?

If auto negotiation does not work, then can you try manual at lower speeds, like 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps?
If the cable looks fine, then you can try recrimping the RJ45 connectors on both ends.
 
I used the D-Link Cat 6 cable that the installer had recommended. I might end up calling him again to check/fix any issues, will keep folks updated.
