Hello,
I have a new ISP now and their router seemed mediocre in the wireless department, so I instead disabled the WiFi radio transmission (from the configuration page) for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band and connected an Ethernet cable from my ISP's router/modem to my router's WAN port which I then set up as a repeater (the router I set up as a repeater is a TP-Link AC1750 by the way). Now, my computer has always been using 5Ghz wireless band and I get usually around 4 bars of connection (windows 10) and when I ping test my ISP's router it gets 1-2 ms when I have my door closed (which I usually do). I'd like to point out that my computer's is about 3 inches away from the corner of my room with the antenna's aiming towards the router.
I am currently planning on buying the necessary equipment to install an Ethernet cable in my room to be able to have a faster more stable connection to my pc and I've been wonder if I should directly connect it to the ISP's router/modem LAN or my own router's LAN (TP-Link). The issue I am encountering is that if I buy a 15 meter cable (which is right in my budget), then I'm pretty sure I won't have a long enough cable to make it to my ISP's router but I am sure that it will be enough for it to reach my personal router. I know this is pretty far into the text, but I've been meaning to ask if it's better for me to plug it directly to my ISP's LAN port or my router's LAN port which is set as a repeater via an Ethernet cable.
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this hahahaha
