If the power lines are good, you can fairly easily extend your network with ethernet over powerline adapters:

You plug one unit into an outlet close to your router and connect it to your router with an ethernet cable. You plug the other unit in in any other room in your house and connect it with ethernet to a computer, a second router, or any other device that has an ethernet port.
YMMV with Powerline. In my experience it often has worse speeds than Wi-Fi.
they improved quite a bit in recent years, here i can buy 500mbps powerline kit for less than 100โฌ
Yep this has been my experience too. Maybe it works well in some homes, but I generally can't recommend Powerline.
Yeah I was disappointed with powerline. I've found using MOCA with my coax much more effective.
