Thanks!
Went back to check, a cat 6 at a cat5 price?
100 meters of Ethernet cable sounds like a prop for a stunt performance.
Thanks everyone for your ideas and help.

I located another outlet in the room serving as my office, where the
adapter is connected.
Suddenly I have the best Internet personally enjoyed in recent memory.
going from needing to log back in within minutes and 8 hour down time, to
lag lasting as long as a sneeze.
However?
my, aquired from Canada computers Ethernet cable, while reaching, is well
not reaching safely. as in a tightrope for barbies to walk across the room.
so, I ordered Ethernet cable from amazon Canada, at least it says it is
Ethernet cable. I imagine? the non braided flat variety is the bees knees
these days?
What has me a tiny bit worried is how like, but not totally like the
Ethernet plug I know well the ends look.
I might have gotten too much..its 50 feet laughs!
still it has these adorable little wall clip things and this belt that
feels like Velcro and was only $12.
I read the description 4 times, making sure Ethernet was in the features.
Should I be worried?
Back in the Internet fast lane,
Given ethernet done using UTP (twisted pair) cable is allowed by the
specifications to be 100 meters, I can't imagine a 50 foot cable will be
any issue. And certainly there are flat cables made for people that want
to be able to put them behind things. Some have nicer connectors than
others, with rubber or other covers to protect the clip. Some people like
those, some hate them (Some of them make the cable very hard to unplug.
Good if you don't want it falling out or getting knocked, not good if
you often need to plug and unplug a cable to do testing work).
I hope your connection decides to stay working now.
