ask how yr neighbors do it.
some houses, the cable come from the house front to grdflr, some from the back to top flr.
that will determine how long the total cable run will be for where u want it to end with the BTU (modem) - the cost for u.
if your house is small, good chance wifi will cover nicely most places, incl yr pc upstairs.
but if it's large superlink 100x30ft... tough.
note the STB (unifitv box) will likely be in living room beside yr tv, will need ethernet connection; ethernet good for yr smart tv too.
if u place the router upstairs, u will then ask "how to do unifitv with wifi"
do not make the mistake of placing modem/router in a poor place only to struggle with bad wifi issues later.
Being getting a lot problems on wifi due to too many 2.4Ghz interference from neighbours, old router and wifi dead spot all over the house.
Me give up on getting the best signal strength from router, no matter put where in 2 storey house.
me now change router provided by unifi, add 2 home plug powerline adapter, 1 at upper floor and 1 at the back of the house since my router at front portion of the house.
settled it now and strong signal everywhere with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
