I am not disagreeing at all with Tudor but.... my lad is a serious internet gamer who thinks wifi is the work of Satan and should never be used for gaming. As said... Ethernet cabling your devices is always the best way to go, but running cable up to his room was problematic at that time.
So he bought a pair of Solwise AC1200 powerline adapters. His PC/Xbox/PS3 can now all be "wired" - with short Cat6 cables – back to the wireless router downstairs and he gets a solid 40-60Mbps on our V200 package - and he hasn't complained once in years!
Worth considering whether that will work for your house on your mains circuits, the two circuits must go through the same consumer unit/fuse box (most do) and be free of any "noise". You can also add a wifi access point alongside to boost that up there as well.
And although the speeds will always be attenuated and this might compromise your connection and activities.... it may not matter - depending on what its for.
But to go full circle.... running an ethernet cable from your router is definitely the gold standard
