However, if the signal is bad where your device is located you won't get a good connection since the pods are designed to extend a good signal to other areas where there is bad/no signal. Assuming it will be a short Ethernet cable you won't see the benefits of what the pod is designed for in most situations.

Whilst @carl_pearce  is absolutely correct, any serious "gaming PC" needs to be cabled directly into a Router, preferably with a good quality Cat 6 cable.
