Extenders / boosters / repeaters boost the signal level, but because
they share the same frequency band as the 'hub thing' they halve the
speed.

Instead of a wire up the stairs, what about external ethernet cable
out through a window frame downstairs and back in upstairs? Or up to
the roof, into the loft, and an access point on the landing ceiling?
