I wanted to get your advice on the best way to connect my gaming PC to the internet. I currently have comcast for internet service and use their router for wifi. My new PC will be in the adjacent room so I will not be able to connect the PC directly to the router. I have to go wireless(or at least I think I do). Would you use a wireless bridge, a powerline gigabit adapter, or something else. I am considering the following but need your help.

I'd use the Powerline adapter (option 2) personally, that way you have a more stable connection for gaming that won't receive interference from various household devices that can affect wireless. I use a Netgear Powerline adapter for my gaming desktop, and it works wonderfully.

Thanks for the input. Do you know what Netgear model you use? Do you play much online games? I don't want to be the person that is lagging.
