So when i play on my ps4 i have lots of trouble with my internet, sadly i have no way of connecting a internet cable to a box because its just so far away. I had a look online and saw something called a powerline adapter. My question is if i place a powerline adapter in my socket and then connect the internet cable with my ps4, will i be able to have wifi through that cable. also i saw you had ‘wifi powerline adapter’ and also ‘non-wifi powerline adapter’ can someone explain to me what the differents is and what the best one is i should buy to have cable wifi on my ps4?

    To answer the first question, you would have internet on your ps4 if you used a powerline adapter to connect it into your modem/wifi router.

    To the second point, a wifi powerline adapter works similarly, but actually acts as an Access Point, which would put a wireless network in the air for you to connect to and then back haul the traffic over your powerlines to your modem/existing wifi router.

    If you are considering powerline adapters, I would encourage you to look into MoCA adapters instead. They use your existing coax lines (cable tv) and generally provide a faster and more stable experience.
