Unless you have underfloor heating, which used aluminium plates to radiate the heat from the pipes, Upwards!

BIT of a PITA here for just that reason...

Use powercable extenders and a wifi signal repeater here to get range for the other end of the house.

Will have to have a rethink once fibre is installed though, will put Cat 5 in the loft and down to my office.

Another vote for powercable extenders, relatively cheap, almost plug and play and no need for extra wiring. This place has thick stone walls and I’ve got three fitted. - two downstairs and one upstairs and WiFi excellent.

when I was messing about with a wireless cctv camera in one of the barns I fitted a powerline adapter in a barn which was fed from a consumer unit fed from another consumer unit in another building which in turn was fed from the house consumer unit and I still got WiFi in the barn !

"Extenders" are usually bad - a proper mesh wifi system works far better.

For a plug & play solution where you can't run proper ethernet cables, look at the TP-Link Deco P9 - you can plug in several of these and they will mesh together over cables/wifi/powerline, whatever works best in your house. Typically about £150 for three (you can have more). Job done.
