sorry for bad english
I rent a house and i have wifi router/moden in an extension on the first floor to the far left. It is the Arris dg2470.
My gaming PC is on the second floor to the far right. Normally I can get 80 Mbps down, 5 up if i am next to it. I am running speed tests on a cheap laptop and i finally saved up for a new gaming pc, and in my room the internet speed is 24 down 3 up. Is this bad? I would like to stream and video edit. What solutions are there? I cant wire it because i rent, Should i get new modem/router.  Will powerline adapter be ok with streaming.
Thanks!

Twitch recommends 6 Mbps up for 1080p streams.
 

Powerline adapters are one solution, but may be susceptible to interference when others turn on appliances (HVAC, Hair dryers, etc).


Range extenders are also a solution, at the cost of additional latency in games and on the stream.

 

It should be noted that the device you listed is generally provided by your ISP. I would recommend switching to a pro-sumer router if possible, if you're aiming for the max performance. 

Not all solutions for everyone. Distances, interference, house wiring, wireless client count, ISP network congestion, building materials and much more widely vary from person to person. It's best to try several solutions until you find one that works best for you.
