It may be useful to give this a blue sky rethink.
Ignoring what you have now, what would you want an ideal network to support i.e. what devices would you like to be able to connect and at what speed, and in what rooms. Included in that is which ones are in fixed positions. E.g. big TV, which need to work while you wander about .e.g.smart phones. Which need a lot of data, fast.g.4k netflix, which need only a relatively small data flow e.g. smart hifi speakers, Alexa devices, Google home...
One you have that sorted , look at what tech setup could deliver it.
Unless you have a 20 room mansion, a single well placed router / hub with some form of extensions should suffice..
The modern approach is to have a mesh WiFi which covers the whole house but you may find that is overkill for your actual needs. For example, my own WiFi signal dies in the garage, but I don't actually NEED WiFi to work in the garage.
As for calibre companion, do you really need the ability to download books to devices in every room of the house, could you maybe get it working in one location, close to your router, and settle for that?
