I suppose that if I got energetic I could use the existing RG6 cables

the modem/router down to the utility room in the basement where all the
power and utilities come in the house from underground. It would still
be quite a project though. House has three floors above the basement and
some of those RG6 cable runs are pretty long.

Nah. Too much work. I'll stick to the wireless WiFi. It's working fine.



I think I will run an RG cable under the house and install one of my wifi
routers in the family room. Back of the house gets no wifi near the BBQ
area. But the house is a 2500' 2 story. With the 30' family room single
story and towards the back of the lot.


Why not just use an extender? They are not expensive and work great.
I got one made by NetGear. Installation took about 2 minutes. Only
problem I had was the first location I put it in that did some weird
thing. I moved it to another room and it has worked fine since.
