Cable is always the best option for speed, thought it is a bit of a pain in the arse to set up.
The problem with things like power line extensions and wifi extenders is that you have no guarantee it will solve the problem as you may have a huge amount of noise in the power-lines that kills transmission bandwidth.
There are signal strength apps available that allow you to map the dead spots and try and fix the penetration issue.
A simple test is a steel wok, use it to focus the signal towards the pc (this will block the signal in the other direction) this will give you the highest penetration with the standard setup and it may solve the problem.
You're taking me back to the days when cantennas were popular.

Pass?
Unfortunately, no. My lemmy client wasn't able to comment due to my profile having multiple languages set. And also, I can't view any of these comments on my profile.
Edit: I set my profile back to have both undetermined and English, and now I can see these comments, but now I can't comment via voyager again.
