Getting a network connection into a difficult corner

[henkc]

My main internet connection is one of Telkom's Huawei LTE routers, with most of the devices in the house connecting via a Wifi network. Wired, I've got up to 100Mbps, with wifi maxing out a bit above 50. The current problem device is a Mygica Android TV box which, ideally sits in a very dead area for the wifi network.

What options should I be looking at for getting a wired or wifi connection to this (and possibly some other devices.

Options I can see working are:

1. Put in some CAT5 (which is not ideal as the router may have to move around a bit still)
2. Powerline adapters.
3. Wifi range extender.
4. Wifi signal booster (if these are any different from range extenders).

Ideas?

We use Ethernet over Powerline to our Android HTPC at the far end of the house - works great!

Depending on your budget, I would recommend a Ubiquiti UniFi (about R1000) - works a treat in my house.
