If u can get a cat5 wire be the best option, if not just a router should do the trick

yep wired network is the best,, especially with something like the APEX...

wireless is for "good-enough"

Save yourself the trouble and wire it. If it isn't an option, instead of an extender you can try Powerline Ethernet adaptors. They use the power lines in your home as a network cable so you are still hardlined in a sense and should a better reliability.

Thats what I am using too. I used to have a wireless adaptor for a gaming console but it only lasted a few months before dying. The Powerline adaptor has been working now for a couple of years.
