Your internet works well in general, but in your bedroom it’s slow and you can’t run an Ethernet connection because you’re renting. You might try getting a WiFi extender or repeater to boost the signal in that area.

I'll get a Wi-Fi mesh system. It's significantly better than regular extenders. What speeds are available? What costs are involved? Are you looking for a budget option?

Do you have Ethernet cables to adjacent rooms? Does your home have coaxial cable? If not, I’ll install a mesh system—options include brands like Ubiquiti, GoodEye, Eero, Netgear, and more.

Consider using a powerline adapter. As long as the wiring is in good condition, it should work without issues.

What is the make and model of your wireless adapter? What about the wireless router/AP? When you run internet speed tests from your room, what speeds are you getting? And what is the latency? How much distance is there between your computer and the wireless router/AP? How many intervening walls/floors? Please provide the wireless settings you are using in the wireless router/AP. E.g. bands, wireless channel, channel width, supported standards (B/G/N/AC), security/encryption, radio output power. Install and run WiFi Analyzer on your PC then post screenshots of the Networks and Analyze pages (include both 2.4GHz and 5GHz). And please identify your SSID(s).
