Can you give a bit more detail on the house - number of floors, approx square feet (or square meters) per floor. Maybe also info on any fireplaces (as the chimneys can block wifi).
Are the interior walls all wooden construction?
Do you have any existing ethernet or coax cabling installed? If so, what floors does that reach?
