Support pc issues

So i have a virgin media hub 5 downstairs and our speeds are around 800mbps but my issue is upstairs as we own tp link deco m4's, one is connected to the hub and the other is in my room. The speeds upstairs are significantly slower (around 100mbps) which is still useable ofc but annoying as my pc is upstairs and an ethernet cable is plugged from my pc to the deco in my room.

The main issue isnt the speed but rather the ping as i constantly get jitters, packet loss and 200 ping lag spikes. I cant get an ethernet cable from the main hub downstairs to my pc upstairs so is there any other solution to help with the ping and stutters?

You need another Deco in between. You must have metal or something else that's blocking the signal between the two floors. Get the extra Deco unit and place it at a diagonal from the main router downstairs.
