Hey Guys! Haven't been here in a while.
So my question is rather simple, yet all of the cases I read are personalized per person (So please don't kill me for making another topic like that)
So I'm in my room upstairs, while downstairs is the main location of the router (basic linksys single-band router) it served well for a bit, yet now its signal is being interruped possibly by my parents having random electronics (TV Box, Radio, HiFi, Tele) very close to the router.
Right now I'm using a "TP-Link TL-WN821N USB Adapter" that I have hooked up to my PC and it sits on my desk.
I was wondering if getting this Powerline: "TP-Link PA411KIT AV500", connecting it to the mains downstairs, route the cable from my "VirginMedia Modem" thru the powerline, up to my room and from powerline the cable to router upstairs (I would move the router from downstairs to upstairs) and then hook myself up from router in my room to my PC using a ethernet cable.
Would that help my connection guys?
Alternatively, would a PCI based WiFi network card be a better option to have instead of the current USB choice?
I know this might all sound confussing, but my internet performance is dropping daily. And I had it confirmed with VirginMedia engineer that is not their fault but probably the place that my router is placed at.
Thanks in advance.
Best, Patryk
