    Why are two PCs in the same house and same ethernet connection getting massive differences...


    Me and my brother are both installing the new Fortnite update and I am getting download speeds of 1-8m/s and he is getting speeds of 20-40m/s. We both are connected to ethernet and we both have the same NVME drives in our computers.

    Using a router to connect PC with Ethernet

    Well Ethernet isn't an option atm, and powerline networking depends on the wires you already have in the house (which will be very old) have any suggestions on top notch wireless network adapters?

    Using a router to connect PC with Ethernet

    Their is only one phone jack where a modem can be placed in our house and it is to complicated to get Ethernet from the modem up to my computer. I can still connect with wireless internet but I want to be able to use Ethernet. The modem is a all in one (router+modem). If I buy a router and place it in my room can it connect to the all in one modem without using a phone jack (Just plugging it into the power outlet) alowing me to connect the router to the PC using Ethernet?
