Find a different location for Ethernet by connecting it to another network switch or router.
I possess a gigabit internet connection, but recently relocated my PC from downstairs to upstairs. Previously, I was near enough to my router for direct Ethernet connections. Now, with WiFi I’m experiencing speeds below 1 megabit, which is quite slow. Upstairs I don’t have any Ethernet ports, though I have a coax cable available. I’ve been researching options and questioning whether to switch to coax, use power line, or another method.
Use MOcca to connect Ethernet via coax cables in your home. It performs better than using power lines.
You might use a long Ethernet wire, attach it to a coaxial cable, then extract the coaxial part from the wall. This will bring the Ethernet inside where the coaxial cable once was. You can fit keystone connectors or standard network ports at the ends of the Ethernet cable. Powerline networking is an option but won’t match the performance of a proper Ethernet connection. If your device lacks an Ethernet port, you can install a wireless router and link it to the cable you pull through the wall.
