Here, though some stuff is missing. I get 3x points on my cell and/or cable bill and 10x on SEN by linking the card to that account for examples. It's probably not objectively better than cash back. I switched from hotel points which I rarely used.
So, got the new router, set it up, PS4 still didn't work with a lan cable. Turns out the power line network adapter behind the tv stand had become loose, and I hadn't noticed because the ps3 automatically switched to wireless and I hadn't tried doing anything online but Crunchyroll to notice. Lol.
Oh well, every device on my network, wired or wireless runs noticeably faster now. Money well spent.

How does the power line network adapter work for you? What kinds of speeds does that get?
It's pretty great. I'll never get the advertised 500 mbps, but it's a hell of a lot faster than any wireless connection. Frankly, I'm surprised at just how well it does work. It is very dependent on the quality of the power in your house, my wiring is only a few years old. The adapters also need their own dedicated power plug for optimum speed.
I've never done any real speed tests, but the shitty one on the PS4 gave me 9 mbps down with the adapter, a direct connection to the cable modem gave me 10. That's only half my regular speed using a pc though, so it's not a good measuring stick.

My brother uses one of those for his basement tv and it seems to work as well as a regular ethernet cable.

I didn't know that they still made those things.
They do, but they refined the technology so that it doesn't suck now. Really handy for game systems since even a good Wi-Fi signal isn't great for gaming.

What brand/model do you have?
Mine is Actiontec, I believe the model is PWR514K01.

I might give it a try just for the game systems. My apartment is right above our garage, and they already have some holes drilled to run the television cable to that room. I may try and run an ethernet cable the same way, and cut another panel into the wall, or I may give this powerline ethernet a try.
