Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

Another option is if you have coax installed for tv/cable, and aren't using it, even just in the rooms you want to connect wires through, MoCA might work.

I use MoCA and I really like it. It does add 2-3ms of latency compared to pure ethernet, but it's still better latency than Wi-Fi and much better throughput. I use it cause I'm renting and it means I can use the existing coax.
