Coax to Ethernet? Want Wired Internet for Gaming

Wrathfulram

So this is my situation:   

- Modem/Router is on the opposite side of the house  

- No ethernet wiring in the house 

The only wiring I have in my room is a Coax cable, what are my options? 

    

Will 2 modems and routers work? I'm using Ethernet over power currently but I'm just not happy with the results. 

  
Throw all your thoughts my way, it will be appreciated!

Pull a ethernet cable in the wall where the coax is? I mean yeah you can do ethernet over coax sure. It's a bit expensive but it's an option.

Unfortunately I'm just renting a room so moving that is not possible.

Those power line adapters are nothing but trouble in my experience. I would suggest you use whatever 5ghz wifi signal you can get off the router. 

 

If the router is trash, maybe the owner will let you spring to upgrade it? 

 

Does whatever you're gaming on have wifi capability?

The standard is called Moca. It’s around $160 USD for a pair of adapters. Speeds will range from 400Mbps to Gigabit speeds depending on adapters. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
