How to get good WiFi in this setup

Hi all,

I am struggling with poor WiFi connection at my place. The setup is as follows:

Fiber goes to an ONT device that also acts as WiFi router in ROOM 1. In ROOM 2 I have a mini PC and a TV box that I would like to stream HD movies to it via the WiFi. I get somewhat ok reception at the TV box, but a very poor signal at the PC.

I can't easily if at all replace the ONT device, since it is internet provider specific. I also cannot move it very much. Currently I am thinking of the easiest and most plug and play solution here that will cost bellow 100 euro.

  1. One option will be a powerline adapter with WLAN capability like TP-LINK AV1300. I can even connect the PC with LAN cable to it and use the WiFi from it for the TV box in ROOM 2.
  2. LAN cable that goes trough the green wall and place a WiFi AP on the green wall hidden behind sofa in ROOM 2.

I will be grateful for suggestion since I'm not very familiar with networking.
