WiFi Bridge Requirement

I just received the HDHR Flex 4K on Monday. I tried using a BrosTrend WiFi 6 AX3000 WiFi to Ethernet Adapter to connect to a Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 that is wired to an Apple TV 4K A1842 model.. That led to constants freezes. The product works fine with a Cat 6 run to the router. I'm going to try a WiFi 7 router and extender from TP-Link. Both of my routers are roughly one gen below WiFi 6. I'm assuming that latency is the problem. I'm trying to avoid running cables through the wall to the attic and down into the upstairs rooms..

Performance of a wireless bridge is going to depend primarily on what is between the bridge and the router it is connecting to. If you're trying to connect different floors, ideally the bridge would be located directly above the router. The further away it gets, the more stuff the signal has to pass through, an that weakens the signal and degrades the performance. Floors are much worse than walls because of the extra material.

Thanks. I'll post the test result with WiFi 7. During the test that I tried,I moved the bridge to a distance of about 35-40 feet from the router. The signal has to pass through a wall, a floor, and another wall. That's the closest I can move it. I can eliminate one of the walls however by swapping the location of the router with another.
