As the title says, I'm looking a gigabit switch or router that has wifi to place in my bedroom since I have shit signal in my room but I don't want to lose the fiber speeds from the router from my ISP (no I can't change that box nor can I relocate it.) Price doesn't matter to me at this point

most routers only have 4 LAN ports, 5 if it can operate in AP mode

Already have ethernet in my room, the wifi isn't for my pc it's for other devices like my phone and tablet.

When ever I look for them I get either or but never both or if I do the ethernet part is 300 Mbps like the wifi

Then get a simple 8 port switch and a wifi AP to give your room a personal hotspot.

That was my original setup minus the switch being able to handle gigabit speeds... Kinda want to be lazy here and just get one device

This AP has 1 extra port.

If you have the Ethernet though the wall this has 2 extra ports.

What about a switch and a Ubiquiti AP. This way you can also have good WiFi too. 

 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Nah the wifi doesn't need to be stellar... I just don't want the dl speeds to be capped on my desktop
