When the lad was here he used plug in extenders they use the house wiring. Something like this

I had problems like that a while ago, bought a booster it worked but had to use a different address, then we started to get router problems we contacted the supplier when the realised that the router we were using was near enough an antique, they sent us a new up to date router and the booster was no longer needed.

The solution posed by Nob will suffice, it is up to you what suits your needs, but if your router is old it may be worth contacting your ISP.
