The suggestions aren't particularly strong. "Throw them in the e-waste bin" isn't a useful option, and "replace home wiring with superconductors" doesn't really address the issue. Powerline Ethernet has limited advantages compared to Wi-Fi, especially when speed and latency matter. MoCA is a better choice if you have co-ax in both rooms.
I partially agree with this point. With a solid access point and minimal interference, Wi-Fi easily meets the requirements. I’m using 5GHz via two 15cm concrete walls, achieving over 100Mbps and only a few milliseconds of latency on good days with low traffic. On poor days, it drops to a couple of milliseconds. It really depends on your setup. My access point is essentially the only 5GHz one on the block. As usual, if possible, run a cable connection!
Find a video showing the router or modem location in the room. Consider getting an AC Wi-Fi adapter for your PC; would you like some suggestions?
I'm checking MoCa setup, do you require special wiring for the coax cables inside your home? You mentioned a coax near your router linking to your cable box, and another coax connected to a different box for MoCa.
Both coax runs connected to the four-way splitter should work fine. It seems the frequency range is suitable. I also suggest using a MoCA signal blocker on the public side of your network to prevent interference with other systems. Are you currently receiving satellite TV through the coax? I can't predict how it will interact with the MoCA adapters, so consider checking that. I'm glad my advice might be useful. MoCA is likely my preferred technology—searching online for "ethernet over coax" shows improvements since I discovered it, thankfully.
Looking at the photos, you have satellite TV on both coax cables. For a MoCa setup, a signal blocker is useful—this link explains how to use one: https://www.amazon.com/Filter-MoCA-Cable...B00DC8IEE6
