Yes, it should work well.

Set up a stable Ethernet link by using your existing gigabit connection. For extending WiFi coverage, look for a device that combines WiFi and Ethernet capabilities—such as a mesh extender or a dual-band router with built-in passthrough. This way you can maintain fast download speeds while improving signal strength in the area. Keep it simple and cost-effective by choosing a single cable for both functions.

Are there any restrictions on this setup? Yes, your home is divided into two sections—side 1 and side 2. If the end connected to the router in side 1 is linked to side 1, the signal from side 2 should still be received.

Usually requires identical wiring, suggests both sides might use separate breakers. Powerline isn't ideal in this situation.

Not always the same wiring, but they avoid being split at the meter and they reject surge protectors.

The results might differ, as some users say their breakers disrupt the signal while others notice only a minor slowdown. Regardless, achieving Gigabit speeds is quite challenging beyond standard Ethernet.

Never! You should connect via Ethernet to the location you require. Set up an 'Access Point' for WiFi devices and enable a passthrough connection for your PC. Amazon refers to this as a Wireless Access Point Multi Port.

Here are the choices I’m evaluating:
1) Connect the cable to a WiFi router in AP mode; LAN ports should function and you’ll have wireless access.
2) Connect the cable to a switch and purchase a separate AP.
3) Choose either 1 or 2, then use a power line adapter for wired connections where needed.
4) Select either 1 or 2, then use a moca adapter for targeted wired connections.

I'd skip this mess and just flip another switch along with the AP. A few APs, such as the Unifi AC-Pro, include a backup bridge port.

The latest power line adapter standard aims to fix previous issues. The original specification was limited to just one circuit, but now it supports all three wires, which should improve performance and speed.
