I have a similar situation as you, Ethernet cable running through the electrical pipe in my 2nd floor HT room. Even with wired Ethernet connection to the Nvidia shield, I'm not getting full 100 Mbps of my FTTH plan. Can you please elaborate more on the changes you have done to overcome this problem. What is a PoE router and how to go about it.I had done this at home to bridge two routers between diff floors. They may be a few issues, make sure the lines are away from power lines, I had too much power interference as the pipes ran beside each other for 100ft. packet drop was so high that I gave up this line. Lately, I figured out the POE router solved the power interference problem. All I had to do was connect a poe injector to send more power via same cat 6 line and poe router at end cleared all this power interference headaches/packet drop headaches

Househld Power shouldn't affect ethernet cables at all unless the cables were bad to begin withhmm i was actually told that ethernet cables will not be negatively affected by power cables. but yours is real experience ...
how about fiber cable?
any advantages/disadvantages of fiber over ethernet cable.
BTW I was thinking of CAT7. As the chord c-stream I use is CAT7.
