Afaik Eir doesn't officially endorse this, but does anyone know if it is possible to do this with that modem model? Cables aren't really ideal as it would necessitate trailing ethernet cables through doorways.

Or if this isn't possible, is there anything I can order off Amazon that will do what I'm looking for?
