Telstra 5G Home Wireless Broadband - Wi-Fi Pro Device

Hi all,

I recently got the 5G Wi-Fi Pro device but the only good reception is outside and wi-fi penetration on the device is poor, and range is worse.

So I need to run cables from outside to inside. Trouble is - it only has 1 ethernet port.

What's the best way to 'split?' an ethernet cable into multiple runs?

Or can I run 1 cable into a central router (Mesh?) and then repeat the wi-fi and cables from there?

I assume the latter, and if so, what router (or Mesh?) is good for this?

Cheers in advance.

Perhaps consider installing an external antenna..
