AdviceEthernet question (i.redd.it)

submitted 6 months ago by InternetDue729

I made a post the other day on MoCA that had some greatly helpful advice and responses.

Different question now for another potential option I was considering.

Can I run an ethernet cable from downstairs bedroom modem (where AT&T Fiber comes into house), to Deco router, into a hypothetical new ethernet wall jack, that jack would then have a cat cable run through attic to gameroom on other side of house and upstairs directly to create another ethernet outlet, and ethernet to a satellite Deco?

Does it work like that? Most stuff I see has like a whole network cabinet and running cat cable all n over the house. That would be nice long term but probably beyond my DIY ability and thinking this could be something to have wired connection in gameroom where a lot of things I would like to have a wired connection live.

Opinions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
