Correct, unmanaged Ethernet Switches are plug-n-play.

And you do not need to run Cat6A patch cables, regular Cat6 or even Cat5e cables will be just fine.

If your room is setup as an apartment with its own plumbing/cooking, etc. and it has its own official postal address, then you should be able to sign-up for your own personal Internet service.

Otherwise you and the other renters need to get together and have a discussion with the building owner and ask to have better Internet access setup in the whole building.

And the best way to make this happen, is to have someone come in and run dedicated Ethernet cable drops installed to each individual room.

So if you are able to run a direct wired Ethernet connection to the neighbors primary Wifi Router, then this is possible (and will be the best way; but there are problems with this method).

A wireless/Wifi connection between you and neighbors Internet connection is also possible, but depending on how the wireless connection is done will determine how good the connection will perform.

Yeah the ‘TP-Link TL-WPA8631P’ setup might work for you, unfortunately there is no way to know for sure without trying it.

Just make sure to review the stores return/refund policy for electronics before you buy, so that you won’t have any problem in getting a refund.

Personally, I would recommend NOT trying to fix things that you are not familiar with.

It’s great that removing stuff seems to have fixed your upstream problem, but you really shouldn’t be messing with things because you have no idea how these parts might affect the rest of the providers system and their other customers.

ok, that makes more sense.

Sorry I don’t have any ideas for your actual question.

So I’m not sure that I have any suggestions regarding your question; I’m simply curious about this 4 port switch that has a USB Wifi adapter.
