Use the installation guide for the exact mesh product before choosing a connection method. Starlink’s Router Mini guide covers its supported setup arrangements. Do not assume the same pairing steps apply to a third-party mesh family.

Draw the path between the main router and each node. Mark whether that link is Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The device-to-node connection and the node-to-router connection are separate parts of the route.
Compare from the same room and device before and after a change. Include the test location, node position, and connection method. A faster result next to a newly moved node does not by itself establish whole-house improvement.
If cabling requires building work, compare that cost with the actual coverage requirement. List the rooms that need reliable service first. A simple connection for a fixed office may deserve a different plan from coverage across every room.
