I've kept the router in my room because it's near the main computer, but we switched to cable TV last week and moved the router to the living room. Now I enjoy watching soccer there with a better connection, though the signal in my room is weak. I have an Ethernet cable from the router to my main PC, which I sometimes use as a hotspot, but it isn't ideal. I'm looking into ways to use that cable to set up a permanent Wi-Fi network while still having a wired connection for faster downloads on my computer without linking the main PC to the new network.

Consider powerline adapters, which cost around $40 to $60 for two. Verify they support your network speed—like 1200Mbps or higher for gigabit connections.

Ethernet is already active. I recommend using a switch with an access point. The switch enables connecting several devices via the Ethernet cable. The AP sends out a wireless signal.

Yes, you're correct. I'm confirming what rcmaehl recommended to avoid running a cable while establishing the connection. Thanks for your confirmation and for reaching out.

The power line performance varies unpredictably.
