In my case I'm renting and where the Internet comes in is in the other room. I got a good router and WiFi card though (the first WiFi card I bought was highly rated garbage though. Would drop off 5g whenever downloading something for awhile, like through steam)
Powerline adapters use the ac electrical outlets to run Ethernet. It's not as good or cheap as just Ethernet cables but it's usually better than wifi.
Same, I just bought a 20m Ethernet cable and some stick-on cable guides and it runs on the ceiling and through doorways. Not visible and no drilling.
Stealing neighbor's WiFi to save money
I do it because:
I don't have a long enough Ethernet cable.
I don't do anything that really requires Ethernet connection speeds (besides large downloads on occasion)
Why not? you would be surprised with the stability a high quality wifi router provides.
Stability, speed and latency are always going to be better on similar generation wired connections and it isn’t remotely close.
My WiFi isn’t worse than a wired connection, so why not?
I use optus internet so it doesn't matter either way the speed is still shit
Ans when you finally have a good pc you dont have the time to play . a classic
Or kids stealing em, but you let them so they can have a correct gaming experience.
My desktop and wifi are both the image on the right. When I first bought my desktop a couple years back, it had only around 4 gigs of ram. I also live in an apartment, so Internet is only occasionally okay a specific times.
Get a hard wired connection. If you can't, get a router to act as a wireless client.
That's how I have my home lab set up until I can install a networking rack in my hall closet and drop some ethernet. Just bought two cheap netgear routers and set them to bridge mode.
You also could install openWRT. OpenWRT is great as its Linux and has a web interface that exposes every networking feature you can think of.
I dare recommend you to try Mortal Kombat 1. It will be great with that setup!
Why are you using Wi-Fi with a PC anyway?
Bad decisions
No lan in every room
