Moving fibre hub from basement to main floor.

Hello all,

I’ve recently switched my Telus internet from copper to fibre and now have issues connecting devices on the top floor to wifi.

With the copper line the Telus technician had placed the modem on the main floor and was connected through the phone jack. Although the wifi was slowish and online gaming would lag intermittently, the signal strength was excellent through the whole house with no connection issues.

With the new fibre internet the Telus technician placed the new modem (Arcadyan Wi-Fi hub) right at the panel box in the basement corner. The internet speeds are great but wifi signal on the top floor is now practically nonexistent.

I would like to move the modem from the basement corner to the main floor in order to achieve better signal coverage through the whole house as well as to hardwire the ps4 and computer directly. Would I just run additional fibre cable from the current line via a female to female adapter up to the main floor where I want the hub to go? If so, what cable and adapter would I need?

Any input or other suggestions is appreciated!
