My unifi I put upstairs. But I changed my router to Asus router, so signal should be stronger. So far no problem using 5Ghz wifi from downstairs (on phone and laptop).
Yeah, now I know, only after buying the TV. If I had known, I would have bought a different model TV that supports 5Ghz wifi.
I'm thinking of buying a router extender(?) (i dont know what that thing is called). Basically I put another router (Router-B) next to the TV. This router connects to 5Ghz wifi to my upstairs router (Router-A), and I connect my TV to this Router-B using cable. That way I can get 100mbps via the 5Ghz wifi, right? Is this possible? What is the thing called? router extender? router adapter? Is there such a thing that will allow this?

yes, u can use another router as a repeater, connect LAN cable router "B" to the TV.
the problem here will be even on 5ghz, there will still be some losses.. that happens every time to go wireless, esp if distance is big.
i think it will work, but will cost u another AC router (better ones cost RM500 or more).
also... i had never had this need but theoretically, u can buy a ac 5 ghz wifi adaptor, plug it into your tv install the driver and it's good to go.
this works with a pc, but i can't be sure if it will work with a smart tv... never tried on TV.
to get firm answers, u need to ask IT/networking people, not TV people...
