residential electric can be quite unpredictable. figuring out how many devices are connected and the voltage capacity is a major concern until an electrician checks it. once approved, it’s considered “to code” until renovations or rebuilds happen, which might mean your wiring is decades old—possibly from the basement. just try it yourself; you never know if it’ll trip the breaker. while powerline ethernet works, higher usage can cause interference and slower speeds. you could route a wire from the wall port to the basement via ceiling, or place it through the ceiling and across to the room where your devices sit. residential wiring isn’t as uniform as commercial setups, making specific advice tricky without seeing your setup. however, it’s generally easier than you think, and many locations don’t require permits for simple installations. the benefit is the possibility of a gigabit connection directly to your devices upstairs, depending on the wiring type and quantity.
Installed power lines and the Wi-Fi jumped from 25MB to 75MB. My sister got around 65MB. It's better than nothing, but it's still far from the price we're paying. Ugh.
For some context. Me and my mom's rooms are on the same 15 amp breaker. I run a gaming PC, Plex server and both of us in the summer have window AC units. Still haven't burned down the house. So.......... Oh and I also use multiple monitors. So I'm pretty loaded up. I seen Moca adapters were suggested above. Would also do the same. I don't use them myself, but Moca is a much much much better standard that power line adapters. You should be able to get near Gigabit speeds with Moca 2.0 adapters. The only downside I seen is they might add a little bit of latency to the connection, but who cares.
