Compare Cat6 and TP-Link Wi-Fi adapters for performance and compatibility.
You're expecting higher speeds with your Cat6 Ethernet cable compared to your current TP-Link Wi-Fi adapter. Based on typical performance, you should see a noticeable boost—roughly doubling the download and upload speeds should help you reach around 135 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. Since you're not drilling into walls, just plugging the cable through the window and securing it properly, it should work fine without damaging anything.
If you harm any of the wires, speeds may drop significantly and the cable might stop working. If the cable isn’t designed for outdoor use (UV protection), it could only last a short time. Keep in mind that Ethernet cables contain eight copper strands and are vulnerable to lightning damage. Cat6 supports up to 5 Gbps over 100 meters or 10 Gbps up to 55 meters.
It might make sense to create a passage from your bedroom to the window, then add material inside.
