ATV wifi vs LG wifi? (alien.top)

Hi all, I use my plex server to stream media from my PC in my office (connected via Ethernet) to my LG tv (C2) which is on wifi in the living room. It plays most things without issue but once I get into BD Remux stuff (average 60mbps+) it buffers. Now my question is if I hooked up an ATV 4k to my tv would that wifi card be faster than my TVs card? Otherwise I need to wire an Ethernet cable from living room to office which is going to be a nightmare.

Appreciate any tips or info!

Rather than running a cable if there’s a free power socket near each end you could buy a couple of units to route Ethernet over power. Not as fast as true Ethernet but much smoother than Wi-Fi for my setup.
