Wifi to my smart TV - what product?

I know squat about this, so my questions may not even make sense. Anyway, I bought a Panny TV last year. It can actually find and use my wifi maybe 1 out of ten tries. Tired of trying to make it work. Would it be easier to use if I just wired a product to it? If so, what do I need to look at?

If you can't run an ethernet cable to the TV, then next best would be to use powerline ethernet adapters. You can find for ~$30 for a pair. These plug directly into a wall receptacle and one connects your router and the other to your device (or a switch and multiple devices)

What wireless router do you have? The easiest thing to do is to get a media bridge. Some routers have a WDS mode that allows you to connect multiple routers wirelessly. Is the TV the only thing you want to connect wired?

I was thinking you guys would tell me Roku or some such. I just don't stream often, so I have no idea what's out there. I have a feeling that I'll be doing it a lot with the SEC network coming.

Too far.
It's over 328 feet from your router/switch to your TV?

You might look into a wifi signal repeater.
