Does Linksys still have their velop line? Back when I rented I used to use them as wireless bridges, at the time they were way faster than my Internet was... I believe they handle jussst about gig probably way more now with wifi 6 .
I'd use them to jump network segments around the house, they worked great.
Each floor had a switch wired to it with All devices from that floor.
They'd use a dedicated 5g backhaul ( extra wifi radios ) to link them together exactly like mesh networks work. Or you could plug switches or even just an Xbox into their Ethernet port and the whole network was accessable like it was wired.
I used to use the 3 wifi pack, and id put one on each floor directly above the other on each floor of my 3000 sq foot home at the time.
I'm pretty sure it was expensive, but most mesh systems will work this way, and usually the two radios do not interfere with each other so speeds were good.
I also bought actual wireless bridges, maybe tplink, and they were fine but they'd randomly crash after heavy BitTorrent use back then, velop was always solid for me, but now I use unifi dream machine se, and drill holes so I can get 10gig with my 2 gig fiber
Or even better (cheaper and easier) I've also run cat 6 along the outside of the houses I rented with black plenum cable, using the existing coax taca, I'd cut the coax In rooms I didn't need, I was cable modem, streaming TV only so only needed eth where the modem was and run my Ethernet outside to different parts of the house for about 6 years zero problems, in South Dakota, USA since I my area, cable and satellite guys installed everyone's homes that way. So I'd use their plate location and just punch it down, and add a faceplate.
