Ive tried 2 or 3 extenders, theyre all garbage for gaming.

I used to tether to my phone, because it worked better.

Supposedly powerline is slightly better.

It depends on your individual floorplan and the like.

I've used a 1Gb powerline adapter with zero packet loss for 7 years now.

(OP it uses your house's electric wires to let you plug in ethernet at both ends -- modem and PC.)

It's never failed to give me the full speed I pay for. I'll never use WiFi for PC again if I can help it.

Any product that does what it's supposed to for 7+ years is a keeper.

Also it's an older house. 1980s wiring. So inb4 someone says it doesn't work in old houses. Also the adapter at my PC end is on a different circuit than the adapter on the modem end at the opposite end of the house. So blammo to that argument, too. (*)

(*) Anyone who gets bombarded by the weirdly anti-powerline adapter preachers can just get one for fifty bucks on Amazon, try it, and return it if they don't like it anyway, and just keep on shelling out money for extenders, gaming routers, adapters, antennae like they were before. And I'll keep using what's worked perfectly for seven years.
