Which brand did you decide to go for, I believe I have a TP-LINK one but mine is 500mbps.

Is the latency loss and speed good on this stuff? I have high latency because my desktop runs off wifi. Running a patch cable would require lots of work and use of power tools. I've never really liked the idea but if it has the properties I need for gaming I might consider.

i was doing wifi off my desktop, in my temporary place, it was near the source so my connection was good, not great, now this new place was terrible. i hooked up the adapters and it seems like my old OLD place where i had it plugged directly into the wall. very handy. i'm thinking of buying a single one for my blu ray player now.

seriously repost, i was doing wifi too, the spikes get insane when near other players, trust me this bridge is worth it... as far as choosing a product? do your own research, i didn't do much, i had a best buy gift card so that kinda helped me speed seal the deal... but really it is WELL worth it.
 
What kind of ping do you get. Is it comparable to lan? Better than Wifi? If f I can I would love just to run my patch cable as it is cheaper to do so.... I just want to hear your thoughts on ping and what not

honestly, my new place is same ping, as i was getting at my BEST, which was 20-50, but spikes are VERY much frequent at my new place with wifi connection, (by frequently i mean almost every encounter with another enemy, or 2, in a server of 8 or more) jumping to 250, and staying constant... i could never play cs for more than 3 minutes (in our server at least.) while its not the 15-20 ping i used to get, that was at the old place i lived at, its still 30-50 ping with this bridge... so im willing to bet this new place, is farther from the ISP, thus being slower.. still, it is a night in day difference, ESPECIALLY, in the lag spike department, turned an unplayable game, back into a daily habit. and let me re-literate NO LAG SPIKES, the most frusterating problem i'd ever had.

also i technically, cannot tell a difference in connection, only the ping number, now that this is bridged, compared to my old place.
 
I have two wireless routers. One on the modem and one very expensive ASUS AC router... Everything is using the ASUS router for the access point... So what I am going to try first is signing i to the modems wifi and see if that helps... I am not sure it will because that ASUS router is supposed to be the fastest wifi router period... If I just can't get a cable run and signing in to the modem's wifi doesn't work then I will get a powerline adapter...

1, 200-1,300 millisecond lag spikes over the past few nights are complete garbage... I'll report back in sometime tomorrow night if it helped by switching to the router's wifi...
