Need networking help!

Sorry for the quick paint job :)

Dimensions of 25m x 15m. VERY approx

Green boxes: doorways

Red boxes: powerpoints

Blue box: modem and cable connection

 

At the moment I have a wifi signal of 58% from room 2 to room 9 (where my gaming pc is) at a solid 4 mb/s... :(

I live in Australia so my cable (not adsl/through the telephone wire, but cable) connection through ethernet is at 150mb/s in room 2. Is it possible to get an ethernet connection without severely long ethernet cables and expensive routering (aka through the whole house; inside walls and roof).

 

I also want to have at least speeds of 20 - 50 mb/s. Although the modem must stay in room 2 as two old computers have no wifi adapters and need ethernet connections. Suggestions for solutions under 150$ AU would be appreciated.

 

So far i've looked at solutions such as powerline adapters, although I have no idea how much speed would be achieved through them. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=200_1348. If these are a solution, which should i get?

 

Will an wifi extender half way get the speeds i want? at point 13 then ethernet wired through room 8 and drilled into my room (9)[there is also a powerpoint opposite the door on the the same wall as room 9 in room 8 i forgot to draw in that may support another extender]. 

 

Thanks for any help you manage to give me! :)

Power line is the way to go, the higher speeds, the higher the price.

Ive never managed to get over 50 mbps using powerline.

 

Your diagram is useless without measurements, OP.

Dimensions are 25m x 15m approx. And does powerline rely on the internal wiring in the house being straight from one place to the other? Since my house extension was built way after the left side of the house( left of room 6 and 11), may not even connect to each other as the left and right side may be completely separate and only lead into the power board outside.

A pair of 200 mbp/s or higher and maybe with a gigabit power line adapters should work and get the speeds that your looking for. Expensive but worth it.
