All you need is a decent dock and a Wi-Fi repeater with data a cable port.
Ofk, I’m on a family shared line and quite afar from the modem, so the results may definitely be better.

I find it difficult to watch things on plex when I’m 20ft from the wifi, buffer buffer… 😕
Are you downloading hvec content? Because if so that buffering is because of transcoding maxing out your cpu or GPU not network
I’m not sure how to tell, I’m using the htpc client and looked at every option for a show and only found that I have Allow Direct Play and Allow Direct Stream enabled and I have quality options with 4.5 Mbps 720p as the original. The file appears to be mkv h264 1280x720 eac3 5.1
If my cpu was getting pegged wouldn’t my fan get going for the delicious SD smell?
To add to what candyman337 said: if it is the transcoding maxing out your CPU, you could try GPU transcoding which requires a Plex Pass or you could use Jellyfin media server which offers free hardware accelerated transcoding even for Intel iGPUs.
