Hi all, I will be blunt. I need better wifi coverage and I am a new father who is sleep deprived. I will list my problems/situation and I was hoping someone will save the day in the simplest way for my price range.

Single story home ~3000 sqft. I have a router located on one side of the house and the signal is crap by the time I get to my garage on the other side of the house. Current router is Archer AX20. I have fiber optic 1gb speed and I don't want to sacrifice that. Router cannot be moved.

I don't want to run cables, but I could run 1 through the attic pretty easily if its the best solution. I would like keep my current router if possible but would upgrade if its worth it. I would rather not spend more than $400. I am mostly just browsing/streaming but will get back into gaming when life permits.

I have built my own computers for 20 years but have been a little out of the scene for that last 5-6 years. So try to use simple words for my tired brain lol.
