My PC is far from my router and I have been using a 5GHz USB adapter to get Wi-Fi. However, a recent Windows 10 update has caused the USB adapter to no longer function. The driver's aren't working so I am looking into powerline adapters. Can someone help me select a pair? I am in the UK and would likely be buying from Amazon UK.
I see there are 500Mbps, 1000Mbps and 1200Mbps. Which would I need? My internet is fibre optic, 80Mbps so the 500Mbps be enough? I won't need these to network as I only have 1 PC. I am not bothered if they are pass-through either (but if they are similar priced, this is a nice option). I also don't think I need more than one port, so what would the other ports be used for? What other features should I look for?
