Require Ethernet link, but router located in basement
Hello there, I'm not a networking specialist, but I've faced similar challenges. Switching to wireless caused some connection hiccups, especially with latency issues. The only ports available are standard power outlets, and moving the router isn't possible due to cable TV requirements. Powerline adapters seem unlikely since the wiring is outdated. I'm considering a second router, but most setups involve linking both devices via Ethernet and avoiding extensive wiring. The aim is to keep the main gateway functional while giving my PC on another floor a stable Ethernet connection. Any suggestions?
There would be a few areas where the cable needed to exit from the walls, which might lead to tripping hazards. I believe this isn't a practical solution.
