My 1920s house is L-shaped and because of its geometry the Wifi signal

computers and cool stuff are.

The signal is effectively non-existent in the study so I used an old
router to extend the signal. Still no joy unless I put the extender in
the study.

I'm forming the opinion that a metal foil moisture barrier is blocking
the signal though I have no evidence that there is one. The rest of the
house is fine.

Is this likely? Any suggestions?

II can certainly confirm that 15 feet is a long distance for wifi even
with two open doorways when all your walls are foil backed...
