So after weeks of trying every fix on the internet I have decided to give up on the Netgear AC6600 adapter. It always triggers Windows blue sreen of death shortly after connecting to the internet. Usualy I get about 1-2 minutes of browsing before windows crashes. Now using the tp-link powerline kit, which operates through the power supply and works like a treat. Anyone wanting an AC600 at a reduced price is more than welcome.

What ever "every fix on the Internet", whatever is shown on the blue screen (usually there is some informative and tech text).

This does allow the computer using it's Ethernet LAN port to establish a convenient Ethernet-like connection to the rest of your network. The powerline kit does just subsitute a network cable resp. a network hub over the power line.

You have replaced one technology (wifi) with something completely different (Powerline). That would have been my suggestion from the start. But that wasn't your question.
Wired is always better than wifi. Powerline won't match a direct Ethernet l,ink from PC to router, bit it is easier to set up (just plug in), more reliable and usually faster than wifi.
tp-link is one Powerline technology I haven't tried. I am mostly on Netgear, but all brands seem to use the same technology.
When it comes to managing a Powerline network, Netgear is mostly useless. (The Netgear desktop genie has some useful features.) So the control software I use is from ZyXel. The devolo option also has its advantages.
