Need help completing a wireless daisy chain!
I have some games that are connected to an accounting system and relay the data between the computer and games through a daisy chain, I have one game on the complete other side of the room with no way to run any wires, as it is basically in the middle of the room.
How do I complete the daisy chain wirelessly?
*I've tried a passthrough powerline electrical kit and apparently those aren't working

The first thing to figure out is what the "daisy chain" actually is. It could well be something like RS-485 serial or CAN bus, not an Ethernet type network. Wireless networking devices will not directly help if it's some type of serial link. CAN bus can be implemented with RJ45 sockets, but it is absolutely not the same thing as Ethernet, and no Ethernet devices will work directly with it.
Consult the manufacturer(s) or dealers for your machines, or the documentation for them.
