Old Florida home built with concrete walls. Modem is on the upper floor. Setup is on the lower level. A very long cable isn't feasible. Powerline offers poor performance (dial-up). Right now I rely on a budget USB dongle without an antenna. Upstairs I use a Wi-Fi extender with two antennas, because the modem lacks one and it connects via Ethernet into the modem. This upgrade helped speed up the connection a bit. I'm curious if there are other options to try.
