Is there an other way to connect my pc to the router?

Legenderys

My router is 5 meters away from my pc and between them there are 3 walls... there is no possible way to use a wire.

Is there any other way to connect my pc to the rounter without wifi (and with better results than the current)?

Drill holes through walls?

Move your router closer and somehow get the cable to it?

Can't drill walls or put more plugs.

Go use powerline?

 

 

Powerline networking.

 

works like a charm.

I've heard about it, but I don't really know what is it.

Depends on what your internet speed is.

You mean 7MBps not 7Mbps right? Either way he's talking about the speed across the adapters not the internet speed. Plus for powerline getting above 50Mbps is pretty decent, unless you're getting one of the higher end adapters I wouldn't expect that much more out of it. The best and newest powerline adapters, the ones that say "1Gbps" on the box, they'll fairly reliably go above 100Mbps.

 

But even that is "slow" compared to an actual wired connection. Gigabit will more-or-less do what it says on the box which makes it an order of magnitude faster than even the best powerline adapters. If you're just sharing an internet connection that's <10Mbps then that sort of speed probably won't mean much. However wired is also a fair amount more reliable than a powerline adapter. When I moved from ~40Mbps powerline to ~95Mbps Fast Ethernet I found that even on my <10Mbps internet connection even streaming youtube videos performed better. On powerline sometimes it would stop buffering for no apparent reason and I never worked out why.

Fools think they know everything, experts know they know nothing

there is no guarantee that powerline will work well, there is nothing better than wifi in your case

I don't know what the exact layout or your living space is but at one point i had my tower and media PC in the same room but opposite ends. I carefully ran a white 100ft ethernet cable along the baseboard and door frames. The ethernet cable was held neatly place with white plastic clips that were nailed down. No one ever noticed until i pointed it out.

 

If it is a rental and you don't have to go through a door frame, giver.
