I did some more research, and it looks like I must have misstated the
problem.

Let's assume I can't get in the attic and wire the place. Let's assume that
I've got a wireless router/modem in, say, the garage. Let's say I have
three rooms with devices I want to connect (one way or another) to my
router/modem.

It appears there are two solutions. One is wifi extenders, and one is a
mesh network. In both cases, the device sits in the room and communicates
via wifi to the modem/router. The devices in the room connect to the device
via ethernet cable.

How does that sound? Any dissenting opinions? Any brand recommendations?
