I'm facing an issue where my internet connection can only be set up in the living room of my condo, and I'm wondering if running a 40-50 foot Ethernet cable would be a good option. I'm currently unable to enjoy online gaming due to this setup. Would this long cable affect my internet speed, or is it a viable solution?

Running a long Ethernet cable is totally feasible, and 50 feet won't hurt your speeds at all! In fact, Cat6 cables can handle gigabit speeds over much greater distances—like well past 50 feet. So, you're in the clear!
Any recommended brands for Cat6 cables?
