I temporarily moved to a new location and got a taste of sweet low-latency ethernet gaming, and now that I'm back at home I've been chasing that high and looking to get myself back onto an ethernet connection. My main problems have been that my router is a few rooms away, there's no ethernet wiring going throughout the house, and moving the router isn't an ideal option (but if it really comes to it I might have to). I'm currently on a cable connection, so there's coax wiring going throughout my house. After a bunch of google searches I've found a few options that could work, but each have their own drawbacks. I could use a MoCA adapter to get my ethernet over the coax wiring, but the investment is pretty costly considering that I'd need to get two adapters and I'd like to try to keep the solution under $100. I've considered buying a modem and plugging my PC directly into that, but I've read about a bunch of security flaws with this solution. The last solution is to just install ethernet wiring in my house or run a wire straight to my router through the wall, which I honestly don't know much about how I would go about doing this. That leads me to my questions for you guys, what's my best low-latency option under $100? Is there really anything to worry about when it comes to plugging my PC straight into a dedicated modem? Should I cough up the extra money to buy some MoCA adapters and call it a day? Is my best option to just figure out how to wire my house with ethernet? Are there better options I'm completely missing? Let me know if there's any more information / clarifications I should be giving, and thanks a ton in advance for your time!
