The ping spikes happen because part of it is still wireless. It depends on your house layout My router was in the basement and I was on the second floor, so I used the coax system in the house with thr adapter, since we weren't using it for anything else like cable tv.

I bought a device that plugs into the wall and the computer So router>coax>wall>other wall>moca device>ethernet cable>pc Thats only because my router is moca compatible, if yours isn't you need 2 devices.

1 device was 60, 2 pack was 90. The cheaper option is to just run an ethernet cable.
