So I just moved and unfortunately I'm not able to connect my PC via ethernet anymore. I'm going to get one of these, but I wanted to know what is the better option in my case?
My PC is about 20 ft away from my router, my room is across the hallway from the room where the router is in. It's a Wireless-N that was provided by my ISP. I downloaded the WiFi analyzer app and there isn't any interference from other networks, and only two walls for the signal to travel through. I have a lousy 20mbps connection since that's the base speed package here, but I am considering upgrading to 40mbps.
As for my house's electric, I don't think powerline would have an issue here. The house was built in the '80s and these two rooms should be on the same circuit. But I keep seeing reviews that say they can get super hot and even trip breakers, so I'm a bit hesitant.
As I understand it powerline will give me the lowest ping/latency in games, but does its bandwidth speeds compare to WiFi? And in my case, is it really worth it to go for powerline? Since I have such low internet speeds, I'm so close to the router and there's no interference from other WiFi networks in my house.
Thanks!
