Should I just get an ethernet cable ran downstairs and set up an ethernet switch for us?

If you can...yes. Wired is ALWAYS better.
Having said that, I run a relatively complex Unifi system and have continuous signal for video calls from the lake to the road...and that's close to 600' on our acreage. My S-I-L used to work on our dock quite happily on his conf calls. WiFi can be tricky to get "right"...channel, power and location selection all affect signal...and the uncontrollable part is interference from your neighbours. So: wired is better if you can arrange it.
