Sorry I don't recommend PLC (Power Line Communication) for using Internet. They inject data signals straight into your electrical wiring, which creates a lot of high-frequency noise. I would recommend you ditch the Powerline adapter. Go for direct Ethernet runs or MoCA (Ethernet over Coax) instead. Grounded shielded Cat6 (STP) can help but only if both devices at each end are grounded. Those USB-C Ethernet adapters can leak fields near your hand, they’re unshielded and powered from the laptop’s DC lines. Using a grounded docking station often helps. Best setup for you would be ↓ Router → MoCA (or pure Ethernet) → Shielded Cat6 → Grounded metal-chassis laptop dock → Device View quoted note →

That electrical noise destroys both computers & human biology alike. That's why you will see ferrite beads in cables. There's even a whole field of science called EM compatibility that studies how to make electronic devices coexist without frying each other with interference. But nothing for human life.
