Hey there, I see you're dealing with a tricky setup. The old powerline connection might be limiting your performance since it's not delivering the full speed you expect. Since you're using a newer router and a solid Xfinity gateway, the bottleneck could indeed come from the wiring itself. The 15-year-old house wiring might not support the higher speeds you're seeing. You might want to check for interference or outdated cables along the powerline path. Let me know if you'd like some tips on testing or upgrading!

Yes, the internal wiring can influence performance. These adapters typically don’t provide optimal results unless conditions are perfect, and based on what I’ve seen, Wi-Fi would likely be a more reliable choice.

It's possible you might experience slower Wi-Fi speeds, which could impact gaming performance.

No, I'm focusing on this aspect instead.
