I live in an old stone farmhouse, the walls are 60cm thick solid stone, wifi signals don't travel through that well. I have three unifi access points in the loft above the three sections of the house, perfect 5ghz signal all through the place and you move from section to section without dropping signals or calls.
When I renovated the house, I ran ethernet to every room, with several in our office space and a couple to behind where the tv goes. I have a small gigabit switch for all the AV gear under the tv and a larger gigabit switch in the network rack in the office which connects all the various wired ports.
I ran three ethernet cables up into the loft spaces where the unifi access points live.
Can't fault the unifi stuff but definitely run ethernet cable if you're renovating, even if you don't need it now, it future proofs you.
