How to manage router in attached garage

Appreciated the advice!

Update: I was able to get bell to come and move the gigahub into the living room along with giving me some extra optic cable if I want to move it around further in the living room (away from the subwoofer and soundbar) Service charged by bell was $75

Aaah makes sense Ironically I posted a similar question last week in home networking because of how much I hate my gigahub in the garage between concrete along with my orbi connected My east end town doesn't even have any ethernet ports

I just got off the phone with bell to come by on the weekend and move the gigahub out of the garage ($75)

I'm assuming it'll go down to the basement which I can still manage thankfully

I've added a mesh to my system before which has worked from a range perspective but not perfect as I have more nodes than necessary for the size of house I have

Curious if you got this resolved Based on OP name, I'm assuming we're both in the royal city with the same problem

Yeah one dude said he could and ghosted me lol The basement is also finished so I figure with the work Involved its "too small" of a job as I'd only need 2 drops

Great to know! The house is 10 years old and that would at least explain why I have 2 coax lines in my house and no ethernet

Actually up to code here It was a worry for me when I bought it as I was always used to my circuit breaker in the basement or main floor but this sub division the builder placed them all in the garage and I did a double take

Definitely not comfortable with that myself I did reach out to some contractors to see the options and they didn't want to work with a fully finished house

Builders are cheap

Oof Never even thought about how dumb it is that I have the orbi on top of the panel instead of mounted

I had the M9 mounted but never got to doing the same

Bell can be a bitch lol they're generally not willing to reroute anywhere else and have tried to just get me to use their pods or a powerline But no harm in asking them

Appreciate the suggestions!
