how to install wireless access points throughout house

forgotmyname

You can add additional routers to extend the wireless signal.

Dont bother with all that just run cables. No loss of speed, every socket gets the full internet speed with no worries about signal strength etc.

Thank you that video was very useful. It did raise a couple of questions for me though:
-- he installs a new router (which he describes as a "unified gateway"), but would my existing bog standard ISP-provided router do without any modification?
-- he also installs a "cloud key"; I have to admit it wasn't really at clear to me why that was necessary. Should I just get one and not worry about what it's actually doing?

Yes your bog standard router will do just fine.

You don't need to do a cloud key. That is basically a computer on a stick for setting up and running a cloud system so unless you're planning on setting up your own internet connected storage at home wanting it to work like Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive you don't need to worry about it.

Cabled is the way to go for best results and most future-proof. If you cannot do that, you could look at a mesh topology like the cloudtrax system (although it's a bit more advanced than you need), but you can do that and are cabling, and that's always the best bet.
