I would call BS on that. Here's what you do: Ask for his requirements. Not that it be hardwired ethernet. What is his
upload/download speed requirements. Then test your wifi speeds to see how they match up.
I just did a test. I have Comcast with Google wifi. My PC is hardwired into the Google Wifi which acts as the router. It is then directly cabled to the Comcast which acts as a bridge. I did two tests. Here are the results.
- PC - hardwired - Download = 320 Mbps; Upload is 10.6 Mbps
- From my Android phone via Google Wifi - Download = 303 Mbps; Upload = 11 Mbps.
Not worth the expense to do cable work. Just invest in a network mesh device and provide the same service he says he needs.

I’m curious as to how this is necessary in 2020. I believe you must have a good reason. I just can’t imagine what that

Just buy some a Google Mesh devices. Put one in the basement and run your Ethernet from that device. No need to run
