Hi there! Your router is on the far side of your house, which is making it hard to get a stable connection. Since you can't move it or use Ethernet, the speed issues are really affecting your gaming experience. You're good with other programs like RDR2, but online games keep freezing due to network problems. Maybe check if your internet plan supports the speeds you need or consider upgrading your setup. Let me know if you'd like some tips!

I understand a few individuals who believe CAT-5 LAN cables are too bulky and suggest using optical fibers as a backbone between switches.

You can connect to a mesh Wi-Fi network and simply plug in the first node. It's best to have three access point versions. Speed won't be maximum since each jump reduces it, but it's better than nothing at the moment. I own a set of TP Link deco M5s and am satisfied with them. They've extended the range further, which is helpful. Ensure you install them properly. If your access point has weak signal, it won't provide reliable internet either. Follow the setup carefully and keep the signal from the base station strong.

Powerline adapters allow internet access using your home’s electrical wiring instead of a traditional Ethernet cable. They’re affordable and easy to install—simply connect one near the router and the other near your computer, ensuring both devices share the same power circuit.

I have had a lot of success with these, but do bear in mind that sometimes it barely or doesn't work at all, and there is no remedy for this. It's a dice roll.
