Please let me know if this possible. Networking not my expertise, how to connect internet to something downstairs, preferably without wifi and powerline adapters.

Could this work if 1 ethernet outlet on each floor. Then router connects to ethernet outlet upstairs
and android box use ethernet into outlet downstairs like so

assuming standard SOHO router...

Yes, that will work. you can even throw a switch off the downstairs outlet for more ports.

There's a few catches.

1. If you will be using keystones (aka punchdowns) then get solid core (aka riser) cable to make the in wall run

2. If you will just use a female to female coupler, then stranded cable (aka patch cable) is fine.

dont even bother, post the model. if you don't know, chances are it is.
