Yes, the house belongs to my friend, but he doesn’t want to put a lot of effort into installing a LAN line in the house? Theoretically, could I set up a WiFi box on the ground floor and connect it to the TV box? To test whether it works, if not I can return the WiFi box. So he has full WiFi reception on the ground floor on the computer. Although the router Internetbox Standard is on the 2nd floor.

So if the PC actually has full WiFi reception, the simplest solution is to try the direct WiFi connection TV-Box to the Internet Box.
It costs absolutely nothing and already gives you a hint, because if it’s just not enough, it could actually work with the additional WLAN-Box (whose WLAN adapter is a little better than the one built into the TV-Box itself).
Incidentally, customers usually massively overestimate the costs of subsequently installing a LAN cable.
In any case, the best solution would be to have an electrician make you an offer for running a LAN cable between the floors, because all types of existing pipes can be used (telephone, cable TV and also electricity). With a high degree of certainty, an additional cable must only be inserted in the most suitable way and provided with sockets or end pieces.
Usually takes less than 1 hour and the materials required are relatively cheap.
This solution then lasts for decades without any further follow-up costs…

or use a clasp racket and 9mm or 12mm (height) clasps to carefully attach the Swisscom flat ribbon Ethernet cable and do not crush it with the clasp. The flat ribbon Ethernet cable fits exactly into the handle.

Yes, but it’s not that easy, wall breakthrough through the ground floor door and 2 wall breakthroughs through 2 ceilings i.e. floors, relatively large effort. And there are no existing cables to pull up.
That probably can’t be true, because if you have electricity on both floors and the cables are not nailed directly to the wall with cable clamps, but are laid in pipes as has been the case for decades, then there is already a pipe connection between the floors in the house.

Pipo1258 the Swisscom flatband Ethernet cable is also available in a length of 25m
and can be laid in/over/through the door frame. If the length is not enough, you can also use the adapter:

Hello @Pipo1258
There is definitely an old telephone socket on the second floor. This usually goes to the house connection via the stairwell, where there are branch points.
And you also have a telephone socket from your current location.
I assume that the pipe behind it is big enough to pull in a nice, clean cable.
You can also use this pipe and then you don’t have to sharpen anything.
Greetings Lorenz
Hello,
So I looked at the telephone socket is mounted on the floor because it is a room in the attic, and the cable runs horizontally in the floor, goes behind the kitchen and from there goes to the 1st floor with a junction box behind the kitchen combination, so no chance without spicing up the kitchen combination . I have now received a new Internet box2 and a WiFi box and so far it has been running stable on the ground floor. Greeting

As already mentioned, if there is only a ceiling or a wall between the Internet box and the TV-Box, it works with the WLAN-Box without any major problems.
In an old house where lead pipes are still installed with angles, we set up the Internet box on the second floor and then placed a WLAN-Box on the ground floor and third floor for the TV boxes and that worked without any problems.
There are situations where it is not so easy to lay LAN cables without high costs.
