Looking for some guidance as I've never been on top of networking options etc..
Currently have 100mb virgin with virgin router in downstairs lounge. I use a powerline adapter to get consistent 100mb speed to gaming room upstairs (which 'touch wood' has been fine) and the wifi extender (crappy TP link thing which is less great) at the back of the house.
I'm wondering if I'm better to get a proper router/switch in the gaming room which connects to the power line adapter and my PC plus then gives proper wifi to the other side of the house (and outside of house for EV home charger and tesla).
Can anyone recommend options please?
Something like this?

Thanks
EDIT
so after a bit of research I reckon an access point installed upstairs linked to the power line will sort the WiFi, but not sure if I’ll need a switch to split the Ethernet feed from the power line into the access point and my pc.
Also do access points need separate power feed, I.e plugged into socket or not?
