Wired backhaul worth it for an AX6000 system?

Wired connections tent to have been performance over wireless as there isn't much variables with wired connections vs wireless.

*Sigh* ... I really have an RBK853 (AX6000) system, even though that's not an option in the forums even now.

 

I'm thinking of wiring my house for ethernet and I've secured all the cable and equipment needed except for the ethernet switch.

 

I'm thinking of using a 2x10gb 8x1gb unmanaged switch to connect a Synology 1817+ in the family room downstairs to an iMac 5K w/10gb in my office, 1GB backhaul on the Orbis, and 1GB run up to various parts of the house with the switch living in the utility room downstairs.

 

The question is: is it worthwhile running the 1GB backhaul on the Orbis replacing a 5ghz AX6000 connection? Now that I've got gigabit service this is beginning to look more worthwhile.

 

If you're running an ethernet backhaul, what speed difference have you experienced?

 

I'm a tad apprehensive as I've never run cable through the house before, and my most optimistic plan is to use old existing telephone wire to pull Cat6 and new telephone wire through the house with the hope that when the house was originally wired they didn't wrap it around a nail along the way.

 

*Really* hoping I don't have to run cable up to the attic and drop cable down from up there.

 

Any advise on this project would be appreciated.
