its around 200ft away and 3 stories down.
Run a Cat6a cable down to a router? 200ft is fine; you won't run into any problems with bandwidth at that distance.
Buy powerline adaptor and then connect that to a wifi router in your man cave. It's a lot less work than running a cat 6 200 ft down etc.

Well I saw a 200ft pre made wire for 15$ on amazon, But running only wire would have to be through my crawlspace, There's spiders there and I don't like spiders. ( God I sound like a 5 year old)
My "Cave" is on a seperated grid anyway, plus my electricity is halariously noisy.
my estimated distance is 150ft with ups and downs, but the distance front to back is about 120 ft
What router do you have?
I agree with paw, Put extensive amounts of clothes on like 2-3 layers of shirts 2 pants plus boots
I can vouch for this... Have had many different powerline adapters throughout my lifetime and they are not reliable... I'd trust a carrier pidgin with my packets more than one of those things.
Netgear WNR 3500
Just bust through that crawl space with a full suit of this...
While dual wielding these badboys...
You'll be fine.
run ethernet net most of the way, I can't remember is 200 ft or yards or meters or if that's even the right number is the max before signal loss on ethernet, then at the end have a router with wireless on it
100 meters
I just want to keep as much speed as i can, I have 30Mb/s internet speed already at home
and heres the cave ( its a older video, I now have a legit minifridge, not that silver crap)

okay he should have 100 feet to spare then, then again I never was good with measurements in school
would highly not recommend powerline its there but I'd use it as a last resort
