Long story short:
Wife had me take up the carpet and padding and install laminate (which sucked). My router and modem are across the room (20ft) and when there was carpet, I just ran the ethernet cable under the carpet near the base board. With the laminate and the layout of the room (it's how she wants it), there is no place to hide a cable to run it 20ft to my computer. There are no walls between the router and my computer to block a signal, just a 20ft gap with no way that I'm allowed to run a cable.
Instead of reading up on reviews and hoping folks are being honest, I thought I'd have better results asking here from folks that may have first hand experience. So, I need to make the switch to wireless. Does anyone here have any experience with any brand/model wireless adapters that work well?
Last time I was on wireless (this was 8-9 years ago) even at 20ft away the ping was awful and I was constantly fighting with channels to get a better signal. I even went as far as installing Tomato and overclocking the router to try and boost the performance. But nothing helped.
Anyone needing to know, my router is an Asus AC1900
