  1. Oh, sorry for the confusion, I don't live in an apartment complex. It's a townhouse apartment, so it's basically a house split into two units. We're upstairs, so we have the 2nd floor and then the 3rd floor which is a converted attic and has a couple of bedrooms, one that I have my setup in. There is one other family downstairs on the first floor and that's about it. Thanks, I'll take a look at some more adapters and probably get one that I know I would be able to return should it not work out.
  2. I know basically nothing when it comes to coax cables, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. We have Comcast/Xfinity and our cable and internet is in the same package, so would that be a problem? I'm also looking at these Moca adapters right now and I'm noticing that a lot of prices for these range anywhere from $50-$200 despite not noticing any outstanding differences. Do you have any idea of what an ideal model would be, or what kind of budget I should have for one of these adapters?
  3. The router in the living room actually has a coax already plugged into it, and the room where my PC setup is upstairs also has a coax within reach. Is that what you mean by having a coax ran to each location?
  4. Hello, this would be my first forum post on these forums, so I apologize if there is a better place suited for posting this. I recently just moved into a new apartment that is much bigger than our previous one and I now have a bedroom upstairs instead of everything being on the same floor. At the same time, the house is very old and consequently does not have a very strong wifi signal. I do a lot of gaming on my system and I strongly prefer a wired ethernet connection as a must. While I do have various storage drives in my PC, I still find myself installing/uninstalling games constantly either when a new game comes out, or when I need to make room on my SSD for said game. This used to not be a problem at all. Previously in the old apartment, it was much easier for me to run my ethernet cable to the router in the living room to be able to hook up, which allowed me to reach speeds decently over 100 mbps over a test I ran using Ookla. In the new place, I simply cannot run an ethernet cable to the router in the living room. It is not an option whatsoever. I have looked into other solutions such as getting some sort of wifi extender, and I've spent $150 on a Netgear extender that plugs into an outlet as I've had terrible experience with other standalone wifi extenders at lower prices. While I am getting satisfactory stability and am not experiencing any dropping connection, the download speed is atrociously slow at just 1.5-2 mbps and it seems like I can no longer stream games over Twitch/Youtube at the same quality that I used to be able to. Does anyone know any more ideal solutions, maybe something that would make the situation much more comfortable for someone who uses their PC mainly for gaming?
