Hi Keith
I have a place in Playa Flamenca with a router sending wi-fi around the home, and is very unreliable. However, the wired Ethernet which feeds the TV receiver box is fine and stable most of the time. If you are wanting a reliable internet connection in a room where it is not possible to have a wired Ethernet socket, try using a Powerline adapter, which is an electrical adapter with one/two Ethernet ports which you plug into a normal electrical wall socket, it then picks up the wired Ethernet signal. You then plug your Ethernet cable into either of the sockets on the plug and hey presto, you have wired internet connection! I've not tried this myself in Spain yet, but have 4 of these dotted around an upstairs office and kids bedrooms back in the UK, snd they are a godsend! Not sure if they make them with the European 2 pin plug socket, if not an adapter from UK to European should suffice
I bought mine off Amazon for £34.99 (you get 2 plugs for this) one plug is used for your main internet supply cable to be plugged into, tthe other is the receiver which can be located anywhere in the home on the same electrical circuit. Worth investigating, it saves on poor wireless signals or extra long cables being strewn around the home. Product details are below
Good luck, Steve
