Here's one I recommend, but almost anything from TP-Link will do the trick.

How well they work depends on your house's circuitry, and which outlets you're plugging the pieces into. Try getting one from a place with a good return policy just in case.

The advantage of a wired connection over wireless isn't necessarily speed, but rather latency between the device and modem/router and the consistency. If you're on the other side of the world then your ping will have a noticeable decrease, and less likely to get packet loss.

Bro these things are amazing. I have this one. Can't go wrong. Just make sure to unplug it and plug it back in every few days to flush the lines. Otherwise its a godsend. Pure sorcery though. Whoever thought of the ability to send internet through powerlines.. sorceror.

Hi. I'm not sure if this will be helpful to you, or applicable to your setup however, I recently started looking into switching my rigs from Ethernet over to wireless. (FWIW I'm running ASRock H110's as well).

I went through a few issues and realizations as I did my research. I read a lot about the issues associated with wireless: a. an unstable data connection can result in lost shares and b. driver support installation issues using a USB wireless adapter.

I purchased a wireless USB adapter (https://www.amazon.ca/D-LINK-Wireless-AC600-Adapter-DWA-171/dp/B00CL58JYQ) and had little success with the driver support and setup. Not to mention it was a logistical issue if I was trying to set up a new rig in an area with no ethernet availability and couldn't download the necessary drivers.

I then thought of Powerline and purchased this simple kit here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWRUICG . This allowed me run rigs far away from routers while still on the same electrical panel. While this alone may not fix your network flooding issues, it may provide you with some flexibility on where you can position your rigs and potentially install additional switches?

Lastly, I've been running powerline for weeks and seen no increase of lost packets from direct ethernet.

Bought this one to use at my parent's place (router is a few rooms over): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWRUICG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Works great. It says to not use it with a power strip but it worked fine for one end. Comes with 2 cables so you don't have to buy your own.

It can connect wireless but byog is way to laggy wireless. Currently I'm using an ethernet adapter with arcadelink through steam. It's way better than wireless if you can't connect directly to router.

By the sounds of it, it looks like you have POE cameras if it is using ethernet cables. The DVR you linked to is a 960H DVR which is meant for BNC cameras, if you are certain the connectors are BNC then go for it. It would be helpful if you had pictures of the cables you mentioned to see where they go. I would advise against motion alerts because these cameras are set off by any little thing such as a bug or spider in front of the camera, you will want to turn it off right away.

Unfortunately, you will not find any DVR that has built in wifi, all of these DVRs have ethernet ports. I would suggest getting a powerline adapter which plugs in to an ethernet port from your router and then plug in the reciever to an outlet near your DVR, all within your home. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-Adapter-Starter-TL-PA4010KIT/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1515584895&sr=8-3&keywords=powerline+ethernet

Just to add to this, the USB to ethernet adapters do need a specific chipset to work with the system. Generic Realtek or Intel devices will not be detected at all.

Additionally, perhaps you dont have ethernet in your room? Well that can also be fixed; with a Powerline adapter.

I've never heard of this tech, so you're kind of blowing my mind here. I do like to game online, so being able to use a connection like this would be fantastic -- does this one look like a good purchase to you? It's a bit beneath the price range you stated but it's on sale, it seems, and it looks like it would get the job done.

I have a Steam Link box with an OLED. Direct ethernet lines to both the PC and Steam Link box. Works flawlessly with zero latency. Because my router is super far from my TV, I use a TP-Link to get an Ethernet line to the box. Since I use an Xbox One S Wireless controller and a Nintendo Switch Pro controller though, I can’t comment on the dual sense.

I have my router+modem and plex server in my living room and one of these (TP-LINK TL-PA4010KIT AV500 Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, up to 500Mbps) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWRUICG Then I have the other in my bedroom with a switch, and my printer, chromecast, laptop, and pi-hole DNS server connected. Works great. Never had any issues.

Yup! They're Powerline Ethernet Adapters , not better than a regular ethernet cable connection but definitely better than wireless.

I would say it is sligthly better than a chromecast. Rather than only being able use a couple streaming services from an appstore. With the steamlink, you can basically stream whatever is on your desktop.

A ethernet connection is highly recommended though. I've use these with some success.

You could also pick up a couple Broadband over Power Line adapters and use shorter Ethernet lines... I’m not sure about the benefits of hooking up a 722 to the internet, though.

I'd give these a try.

TP-Link AV600 Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, up to 600Mbps (TL-PA4010KIT) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Hn2wAb62DKW5H

They've been life savers for me!

Get something like this. It literally runs internet through the power cables in your house. Plug one next to your router with an ethernet cable, and one near you device with an ethernet cable. Instant internet.

Are you referring to one of these? TP-Link AV600 Powerline Ethernet Adapter(TL-PA4010 KIT)- Plug&Play, Power Saving, Nano Powerline Adapter, Expand Home Network with Stable Connections https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6CZDYAGK2YXQEANBPP4C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I tried that but it had to be on the same circuit I guess. It didn’t work since it was on a separate circuit for me.

You would need something like this to to plug in an ethernet cable to the firestick and you can use a powerline adapter to run ethernet into the room your firestick is in. You will be limited to 100 Mbps though.

This is probably the best one on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007O0AUT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_naNqybVT7251C

Not for $10 but check into a Powerline adapter if you don't want to run wires- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_z-Mqyb53WRX83
