Similarly, that coax cable and the connector that goes into your cable modem can cause reflection issues and RF noise if it is bent or damaged. If the Cat-5 cable is old, worn, or shows any signs of chafing, replace it.
Just because you got a free cable with some device ten years ago and it's been sitting in your giant spaghetti box of old junk you thought would come in handy someday doesn't mean you should use it. Make sure those cables are in good condition Do not, under any circumstances, run a secondary NAT (Network Address Translation - another router) behind the original router, because that will cause many network connectivity and performance problems. While many consumer routers can do this, such as products from Linksys and NetGear, not all of them can so be sure to read the manual online before you commit to that specific model. This is done with an app on your smartphone or the web user interfaces for the router or AP.
If you cannot upgrade the residential gateway (because your ISP maintains it/won't replace it), consider buying a small business access point or a consumer wireless router that can be set to AP/ Bridge (layer 2) mode.
