My computer doesn't have an ethernet port anywhere near it, I am thinking I should get a powerline adaptor, what is a good cheap one? OR should I just buy a proper PCIE wifi card? 

 

P.S. I am in the UK.

  • 16GB DDR4 2400MHz 
  • ASRock Extreme 4 Z370 
  • Fractal Design Meshify C Light TG 

Location: UK 

Plays: Minesweeper at 1000 fps.

How old is your house?

How big is the distance between the primary router and your room?

 

These two are key indicators for quality and speed of a powerline connection. It's not viable in old houses with old wiring (pre 70's) and over long distances (ground floor to 2nd floor/attic for instance). A powerful wireless access point and card will do better in those circumstances.
