I want to move my Hub to another room.

So i switched from BT to EE and am using the new equipment. The wifi extender is terrible, unlike the BT discs, which seem to work fine. I have it in a different part of the house that has no signal and use ethernet to connect it to the network but it keeps telling me it's too close and device drop or always connect to the weakest one of the 2, disney+ buffers all the time, but that may be another issue.

Because of this, I want to move my HUB to a central location that should cover the whole house. I have Cat 6 cable and am able to run it to where I want to move the hub.

My question is can I just run a cat 6 cable from the small box that the fibre cable comes into, to the hub in another room 5-10 meters away? would there be any issue?

Yes, you should be able to run a Cat 6 Ethernet cable from the ONT on the wall to the new position of the router, say up to 100 meters.
