Yes. If the household mains circuit is relatively "clean," not too many electrically noisy devices that mess around with the electricity and not too many fuse boxes in the way, Powerline is more reliable than wifi and easier to set up. Just plug it in.
You can even get plugs with a wireless access point as a part of the "remote" plug, the one you connect to with ethernet.
Thank you all for the suggestions
Im going to try first to roll back the firmware, is there any specific one I should try? Then ill be buying the powerline adapter if that does not work
It either try 1.0.9.88 or 1.0.9.42.
After you downgrade, do a factory reset and new install. Don't install from a backup.
That's the versions I'd start with.
