The possibilities here with sufficiently sophisticated software and tunable hardware (deep learning of RF propagation characteristics in a building using data from portable sensors) are fascinating! But honestly, MOCA already solves this problem. The MOCA 2.5 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_over_Coax_Alliance#...) already delivers 2.5gbit total (time-multiplex) throughput which is more than enough for real-world no-compromise bidirectional gigabit ethernet on isolated runs or distributed backhaul to multiple wifi APs. I'm using this in my (115 y.o.) house now where new cable runs are impractical and the coax plant is unused.
