So I recently switched service to Bell, and because of their fibe internet the router had to be installed downstairs (had to drill new hole for fibe connection). My PC is currently upstairs and I don't have Ethernet wiring running through my house.

As I see it my current options were a wireless network card. Since I didn't want to spend a lot of money I went with http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_1048_1049&item_id=047183&language=en.

 

However, the ping when using this card is very random. Of course I wasn't expecting Ethernet level ping and speeds, but when playing league of legends for example my ping reached 1000 ms at one point. This is recurring and the ping fluctuates alot.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion for a better card/adapter. I am willing to spend around 50 CAD.

Thanks

I currently use an Asus PCE-N15 Wireless adaptor for my PC, it's also rated at 300Mbps and costed me £15. I also sometimes get ping spikes but I know that's down to my own Wi-Fi and not a fault of the card's.

You could use a powerline adapter

Problem is that from what I know the powerline adapter only works if the two outlets you connect to are on the same circuit which they aren't. The circuit my router is on and pc are on, aren't the same.
