Cheap fixes for networking issues are rare. Consider a temporary fix such as powerline, though results aren't assured—it might perform better than Wi-Fi. It's cheaper than a full overhaul.
I advise against connecting a powerline to a PC for optimal performance; speed isn't the only factor, and inconsistent latency can be an issue. Even solid power solutions aren't ideal for lag-free online gaming. With 5GHz Wi-Fi, adding a card might help, but it's unlikely to eliminate all problems. Instead of relying on a router, consider securing the cable neatly along the floor or ceiling.
You placed your router in a suitable spot as recommended by AVM. Keep in mind the limitations of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 5. Running a cable is a practical solution, especially for an IP camera setup. The Cat5 cable you bought for 50€ over 100 meters was a cost-effective choice.
It met the mom's approval back in 12 years ago. For a carpeted home, you can gently raise the carpet at the wall junction just a bit, enough to guide the cable under and then push it back in place. You can repeat this along the base of the walls until you reach your target spot.
You’re using Docsis Cable internet, and I see a comparable plan available in the US. Likely your ISP provides an Internet gateway—either a modem or router. Here are some possibilities: 1) A WiFi mesh network. These can be costly but might help avoid double NAT issues. Some models include Ethernet ports on satellite units, which could be useful if devices lack Wi-Fi. Be aware that performance depends on your home’s layout and materials. My sister uses a basic Google Wi-Fi mesh; it doesn’t match the 800 Mbps speeds Comcast offers. The satellite units usually provide decent coverage but slower data. 2) Powerline adapters. These are pricey too, and results are inconsistent—cables in walls aren’t built for high-speed data. Speeds rarely reach gigabit rates. 3) Running Ethernet directly. You only need one cable; you can place a switch in your living room so both devices share it. This method typically delivers faster connections.
