recently moved and have at&t fiber 500. The fiber box is downstairs across the house from where I want my PC. So purchased a hockey puck google wifi to use as mesh and it works great when it's plugged directly into the at&t router. However I don't like running 100ft Ethernet cables across the house.
How do without using power lines coax etc just get my Google wifi to take the WiFi from the at&t box and spit it back out in Ethernet. That's all want it to do. If there's a secondary WiFi fine as long as it does what I need. I can't seem to figure it out. I put it in bridge mode I put my at&t router into IP passthrough with the G wifi and still isn't working.
just want my PC to be connected via Ethernet without losing speed or spending hundreds of dollars to rewire the house. Please help.

So what you want is a WiFi repeater or extender , not a Google wifi.
Saying this, 100ft is quite a distance , you may end up with signal issues at that range. Would strongly suggest moca (Ethernet over coax) or another option, or just keep doing what you did, with Ethernet.
