If it doesn't move... it deserves a hard line. No point in spending precious wireless capacity on something that's so well served by a cable.

A basic 48 port switch is ~$200... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UBUJZG

I can guarantee that your house doesn't need more than that.

And 8 port switch can be had for as cheap as $18... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A121WN6/
