Use a powerline adaptor to get the connection to the room or area you need.

For instance, you could keep your modem in the basement, plug one of these adapters into an outlet near the modem, then run the ethernet cable to it. Take the other adapter and put it in the room or area you want, plug it into an outlet and run an ethernet from your router to it.

You're basically using your copper electrical wiring in the outlets to bridge the connection. This will give you hardwired performance in that room to do whatever.

Likewise you can keep the router where it's at but plugged into one of the powerline adapters and plug a access point into the other adapter wherever you put it. The point is you've got a hardwired connection there now.

The only catch with powerline adapters is they have to be on the same service. So if your house was big enough do have like 2 200 amp breaker panels, you'd have to keep both adapters on outlets using ONE of those panels. Not an issue with a house your size. Also try to put the adapters on empty outlets to reduce electrical noise which can affect performance.

You can get gigabit powerline for as cheap as $45.

Spend the 45 bucks and use a Powerline Adapter. If by some chance that does not solve the issue send it back to Amazon for a refund and no loss on your part. The PS4 wireless card is awful. Please report back if this does not fix the issue.

No amount of router settings or ps4 settings are going to fix the bad PS4 wireless card hardware.

That’s what I have connecting a Wireless AP in the basement to my Router on the primary floor across the house built in the 90s. Is it getting the full Gig? Probably not, is it capable of moving 1080p content to the old Chromecast in the basement, yes, it does that just fine.

I think the big fuss with Powerline is the unknown variables it introduces to the system, professional network engineers loathe unknown variables. But if you have $50 to test it out on a 30 day return window and that sounds easier than running Ethernet cables, it’s worth testing out.

If you're happy with your current GPU, why not upgrade to power line networking instead?

This will give you better networking than even PCI WiFi, unless of course you're using SFF because you're lugging your PC around with you.

PLC?

Ah that makes more sense. Living in the States, my house (built in '74) seems "old," but I suppose that is a regionally skewed perspective. Certain things about the wiring are funky, but switching from 802.11n to using these has been a dream.

My main contention with your comment is "in general". I believe powerline communication is generally a more robust, higher quality connection than wireless. Specific situations would be exceptions (as in most things), but I don't really have any data to back that up. For all I can prove, it may be the case (especially taking the Old World into account) that wireless networks are more reliable for most people.

Try this

Doesn't work that way. Either you'll need to run an ethernet cable, use wireless, or get something like this https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-1000Mbps-TL-PA7020-KIT/dp/B01EE9APYS

A less expensive option and one that has great reviews is the TP-Link AV1000

I'd look at the 1000Mbps one personally. The 500Mbps ones from TPLink use 10/100 ports for some reason, so even if the connection is strong, you're capped at 100Mbps

Powerline adapters essentially can transfer network data over the existing in power cabling installed in most homes through 2 devices that connect in any outlet

Provides a potentially cheaper option for routing small numbers of home devices together. Prices usually start around $40 a pair

Or around $80 for something acts like a wifi router, extender

I use the ethernet powerline adapters for desktop since the router is on the other side of the house. Much better speeds and latency then I was getting over wifi. Consistency is hit or missing though depending on the electrical situation in the home. I haven't had a problem but other people have experienced connection drops when other appliances kick on or the boxes just stop communicating randomly and need reset.

I use this kit https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-1000Mbps-TL-PA7020-KIT/dp/B01EE9APYS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493743812&sr=8-2&keywords=tplink+powerline

> My xbox one and laptop are connected wirelessly to my router

That's your problem there, Bob. Wireless is the bane of streaming. My desktop is wired to my router but my Xbox One in my living room was on wireless for a while and streaming was just ugly and not always responsive. I recently bought a TP-LINK Powerline adapter to hook up the Xbox so it's closer to a wired experience and it fixed all of my problems, even lets me stream full Blu-rays on Plex now without stuttering or on-the-fly transcoding.

The one linked above is my recommendation so there's no bottleneck on your network but you could experiment with one of the Mbit adapters instead of the Gbit.

If you're using your ISP router for Wifi, you might consider getting a more powerful Access Point. ISP Routers are notorious for being generally awful at everything.

Failing that, a powerline network adapter like this one would help. Don't get too excited about the speed, I know it says gigabit but the real-world throughput is probably less than half that.

Plug the other adapter into an outlet on the other side of the house where you want to have internet. You would then plug another Wireless access point into this adapter's ethernet port. If you want to have seamless roaming capability, configure this Access Point to have the same SSID (network name) and password as your other wireless Access Point. Your devices will choose the one that has the strongest signal automatically.

Why not just get powerline adapters
