Lots of good examples from folks here. Thanks for the ideas. I may try out the Netgear powerline adapter, if that doesn't work I've seen a few wireless cards suggested here that I could try.
My last run with wireless wasn't terribly fun. Constant spikes/drops and abnormally, constant high pings. But, that was 10 or so years back on an 802.11g router....a Linksys WRT54G???? wireless router. I even installed Tomato on it and overclocked it to see if that would help, but there really wasn't much of a difference. When I moved my desk to where it is now, downstairs with the modem and router, I ran a cable under the carpet and I've been wired the past 8 or 9 years.
I've had the ASUS 802.11ac router for the past 4 years or so. If wireless has improved over the years as other have suggested, hopefully any decent wireless adapter will manage things just fine for me.
