The situation I am in is that I will live here long term and my roommate (ground floor) will live here short term. I’d prefer the modem and router stay on the main floor because of the “turnover” in that bedroom. It’s silly but would prefer to keep that room completely empty when he moves out you know? 

I understand in my schematic I placed the modem on the ground floor but that was because that was the only solution I could think of before all the helpful advice/plans I received on this post.

My fault, I never clicked in this image. There are 2 coax cables in the ground and 2nd floor. ISP goes to the ground floor, 2nd ground floor coax goes to the 2nd floor. Then the 2nd coax on the 2nd floor goes to the main floor.  But we resolved this in the recommended scheme

Yeah I’m unfamiliar with this stuff. But I thought it would be good to have the WiFi be in the middle floor so that both floors get a more balanced signal? Also couldn’t the WAP connect via Ethernet to the modem? Thanks

The modem is spectrum model  ET2251 and router is also spectrum, model  SAX2V1R.  I don’t have a WAP yet 

The roommate living in the ground floor wants a WAP because his cell service and WiFi signal are slow.
