All you need is a decent dock and a Wi-Fi repeater with data a cable port.
Ofk, I'm on a family shared line and quite afar from the modem, so the results may definitely be better.

I would suggest a mesh router system rather than a repeater. A lot of Asus's modern routers can be added to their mesh system, Netgear has a good system as well
Mesh* it's impressive you got it wrong in two different ways lol.
A mech router would be something to be feared.
Oops, fixed, cut me some slack I was half asleep and I had an edible last night lol. And some of those Asus gaming routers do look like mechs haha
!/c/bossfight?
Mesh routers are nothing to recommend lightly. Most are a complete headache to set up.
I really miss Google's original mesh router setup, it was so painless, almost plug and play. But of course, they bought a company and it got absorbed by their nest mesh system, which is more expensive and from what I understand more annoying. And now their old WiFi routers are in support limbo.
But if they can set up a repeater, I feel like they can setup a mesh system. I was able to do it through my Asus app on my phone pretty quickly. The only issue I had was with a used router I got off eBay being finicky about reliably remembering it's mesh setup once it had been unplugged. Something wrong with the cmos or something.
What? I’ve never had an issue setting them up
Lucky you.
