I want to improve transfer speeds between my two PCs. 100 MB/s isn't really enough.
Our ISP is BT Broadband and we use their BT Smart Hub (sometimes called the Home Hub 6), which was released in 2016.
I am considering buying 2x Plugable 2.5G USB-C and USB to Ethernet Adapter (totals £64) for the two PCs in the house, which are both currently connected via CAT5e cable to the above wireless router.
Presumably, the router will limit the speed to 1 Gbps.
What options do I have?
Is a wireless router replacement the only possibility to get this working?
I ideally don't want to spend over £100 total, as the upgrade from 1 Gbps to 2.5 Gbps would then not be worth it for me.
I also can not run any more cabling.
