Alas I had to re-wire some commercial structures for net/etc over the years, back when I was still young enough to crawl around in ceilings. What a pain in the ass ! The structures were made to spec, 1950s spec, electric and standard telephone, and NO slack for add-ons. I've seen pix of British castles ... they just run lots of pipes on the outsides of the thick stone walls. Works, but you'd never get away with that in modern commercial buildings. Things have to look all neat and tidy. My house is early 50s ... mostly concrete and heavy wood, now a metal roof. Again it was NOT meant for running NEW stuff around. Half the bricks were solid-poured full of concrete. Everybody thought that the 1950s were the pinnacle of modern civ ... "What else WOULD you need to add in ???". I've had good success with wifi 'extenders' - and they're pretty cheap unless you want today's VERY fastest specs. Running two of them now ... one for out-buildings, another for a convoluted corner of the main house with the desktop I never use. Anyway, for the OP, one extender is the solution to his problem.
