This drives me up the wall. I recently moved to a newly refurbished apartment in the Netherlands. The fiber connection is terminated outside in a utility closet on the balcony. Okay, fine. The apartment has Ethernet wired to each room, that also runs back to the same closet. However, all of the ISPs issue a standard modem/router combo. If I leave the router in the closet outside, I have basically no signal inside, but I could wire up the Ethernet. But then I need extenders plugged in and taking up my wall jacks just to have wireless in my 75sm apartment. I ended up using the plugging the router in inside and running the WAN connection over the cable to the outdoor closet. So I have no Ethernet but at least the wireless speeds are acceptable. On my M1 MacBook Pro, I get about 750mbps symmetrical in the living room and 600 in my office. Good enough I guess. My game console is plugged into the router directly.
