It’s still possible but that requires a few steps to works.
If you’re using the official YouTube app, you can press the three vertical dots button on the website, you should have an option called “Open app”.
If you’re using ReVanced/Vanced, and because Google has made poor design choices about handling links, you can go into the app settings to tell it to handle every YouTube URL. This should works when clicking a YouTube link from Sync. However, for links that you changed manually from Piped to YouTube, Chrome doesn’t provide a way to open in app. Firefox can do that, but if it’s not your default browser, this option requires you to change browser every time you want to see a video inside the app.
The best option is to use “Open Link With…” which provide an easy way to open apps from your browser. It’s as simple as sharing the website to “Open Link With…” and select your app eg. YouTube/ReVanced/Vanced/etc. You can also set it as your browser which should do that automatically but I haven’t tested it so YMMV.
I hope this was useful!
A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That’s actually what I’m using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).
Wired is always better than wireless. You’ll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.
