Reddit mentions of NETGEAR Powerline Adapter 2000 Mbps (2) Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Passthrough + Extra Outlet (PLP2000), Model Number: PLP2000-100PAS

yes, go powerline. I tried 4 different wifi adapters over the last few years, 2 wifi, a card, and a chip installed in my crosshair VI m2 wifi card slot and none of them ended up working well, most died after a few years or just sucked.

Powerline works by transferring the internet signal through the electrical wires in your house. Plug one into an outlet, plug an ethernet cable from your router into it, then plug the powerline adapter into your wall near your computer, and plug an Ethernet cable from there to your computer. Since it works like wired Ethernet connection it is superior for gaming.

Powerline adapters can have problems if your home has shitty ancient wiring. By ancient I mean like 1940s. My home was built in 1976 and powerline works amazing.

Did you think about using a powerline adapter? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0778Y6K6N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0KNQCb6V63FN6)

Yup - plug one adapter between the router and the nearest wall outlet. Plug the other adapter between your PC the the nearest wall outlet to it. The adapters cannot plug into a powerbar (powerbars degrade the signal so the adapter cannot be plugged into one). No setup or configuration needed (powerline adapters come in pairs and they're paired at the factory). You can buy additional adapters of the same make/model place elsewhere in your home, but you'll have to pair them manually.

Get a powerline adapter that has a 3 prong outlet on the front of it so you don't lose an outlet to plug other things in. example:

YMMV on the speeds you'll get (factors like your house's wiring and circuit breaker affect the speeds from home to home). They also don't reach their advertised speeds. I have a pair of DLink AV500's and though I "should" achieve 500Mbps, I actually got only 80Mbps between the PC and router. That's more than sufficient for gaming and streaming but can be slow for large file transfers. So basically get the fastest powerline addapters your budget can afford. My AV500's are old and discontinued. I believe 1200 and up is the norm thesedays.

My wife works from our home office from time to time but her company has a strict ethernet-only policy (wifi just opens up can of worms support-wise due to the VoIP requirements), so the AV adapters fill that niche. The home office and router are in different rooms.

Our home office actually can have up to 4 PCs (my mac mini, my gaming PC, a chromebook, and wife's laptop) so we use a gigabit ethernet switch in the home office so they can all take advantage of the powerline connection.

For recommended brands you can't go wrong with netgear or dlink.

It's a netgear, I can't see a model number on the device, but I think that it's this one, but this is faster and has a pass-through so you don't take an electrical socket; which would definitely be nice.

I use these for Ethernet to my far away from the router cameras:

They work amazingly.

I use this for the camera:

And I use blue Iris for local recording/monitoring and I use Dropbox to store 30 days of 1 second resolution video (just record to the shared dropbox folder)

This is the kind of image I get at night (camera is mounted to my roof soffet and cables go to my attic to an extension cable with a splitter for the camera and the Ethernet adapter)

Yeah get a remote wired connection (a ”power line” adapter), it’s uses your electrical wiring (via a normal plug) to bypass the WiFi signal and just do wired room to room, very easy to use. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Powerline-Adapter-Ethernet-Passthrough/dp/B0778Y6K6N/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Powerline&qid=1574235089&s=electronics&sr=1-4

Skip the WiFi and get a Powerline network adapter. Not necessarily an endorsement of this particular model but as an example:https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Powerline-Adapter-Ethernet-Passthrough/dp/B0778Y6K6N

EDIT: To answer your original question PCIe is PCIe, it should not matter which motherboard you have Intel or AMD. If you have an open/available PCIe slot it should work in either.

forget wifi and get a powerline ethernet adapter for that

I would suggest this Powerline adapter. NETGEAR Powerline Adapter 2000 Mbps (2) Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Passthrough + Extra Outlet (PLP2000) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0778Y6K6N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1Uj7CbEPRAG0E

It's a shame there isn't anyone to give you a hand. I'm not sure what it's like where you are, but around here most apartments have radiators that run along the floor on exterior walls. I've had success with passing cable through the walls where the pipes go through and hiding the cable under the radiator. An alternative would be to use powerline network adapters so you don't have to buy a bunch of expensive extra strong cable. I use this one for one of my devices and have had no issues.

Try and powerline ethernet adapter https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Powerline-Adapter-Ethernet-Passthrough/dp/B0778Y6K6N/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1543035206&sr=8-4&keywords=powerline+ethernet

You could try going with an powerline adapter to convert your wifi to wired through your home wiring. Something like this -- https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Powerline-Adapter-Ethernet-Passthrough/dp/B0778Y6K6N/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1542725036&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=powerline+adapter


If you do want to go back to cable, I'd suggest that you purchase a used/refurb cable box to avoid the rental fees associated. Or you could get a TiVo/DVR that'll play with your cable company nicely.


There's ways around the cable companies' rental fees.

Look at how they market the Ethernet port. For Fast Ethernet which we usually classify as 100Mbps, some market it as 200mbps if they are Full Duplex. They add up the sending and receiving rate. Likewise with gigabit Ethernet ports, some market them as 2000Mbps.

EDIT: Example of this marketing. This is not a recommendation of the adapter. Purely an example of their marketing.

> Input power: 100V ~ 240V, 50/60 Hz. Extremely fast speed up to 2000Mbps

Well, i dont use switches because i want all my cables inside the walls and my actual tubes cant hold more cables. So i can make new holes in the walls to put more tubes in it, or use PLCs. I thought that this was obvious, sorry.

​

Thank you.
