Hello, I will start streaming games soon on Twitch, like Arma 3, Dayz, Battlefield 4, CS: GO etc. I will upgrade my internet to a 5mbit upload, which is enough for a 720p stream at 60FPS. However, I need to connect my PC to a router. I cannot and will not drill holes in my wall to connect them. I am thinking about buying http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWRUIY4/ref=ox_sc_a... so I can get the 5mbit upload and have a nice stream. I don't know if I should though, as i hear many different thoughts on Powerline networking. What should I do?

Those should give you around 40 Mbit sustained bandwidth. Way more than the 5Mbit uplink you have.

Those will likely work but I would unless money is a huge issue go to the 500m devices. It will likely run the same speed since both can exceed your 5m internet connection. The 500m ones use newer technology and it tends to run better over poor house wiring than the older stuff.

Make sure you buy them from a place that has a return policy. Some houses they do not work in. The newest houses are required to have the new arc fault circuit breakers and powerline is blocked by many brands of those.
