Hi guys,

I bridged my ethernet port (goes through electricity mains to the dual-band Vodafone router) and wifi using some basic instructions from the internet but the performance was very low especially for the upload speed so I wonder if someone with experience could guide me to do it properly?

I am not looking for extra speed, what I want is a more reliable connection to be able to play online as the LAN alone sometimes lose connection, and using only the wifi the signal is weak (so sometimes also lose connection) as there are 2 stories between the router and the PC.

Windows 10 home 20H2 and the motherboard is the Phantom X 570 of my signature which has dual-band. The router is from Vodafone also with dual-band.

Any guidance would be much appreciated :)

the hub is on the ground floor and the PC on the 2nd floor so a direct cable is out of question. I have connected the LAN by cable using the electrical cables of the house.

I am not looking for a combined speed, just for a more reliable connection to avoid drops when I am playing online.

Thanks
 
I have 3 TP-Link 500mbs (so medium speed), one on each floor (3 floors in total).

I don't know much about networking so I thought that a bridge would increase the speed by combining both ports but after my experience confirming that it is not the case, I have removed the bridge.

The Hub is in the south of the ground floor and the office in the north of the second floor so it would be like wholes in 2 floors + 15 meters of cable which is not worthy as I lose connection for a few seconds just 3 or 4 times in a week out of 100 hours of use.

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated
