Simply put, I have an odd home layout where my office is at the furthest point away from my fathers office. I have the router in my office and unfortunately that’s where it has to be due to the cable connection from the ISP. I tried range extenders but they suck… I’ve been looking into a mesh system but not sure if that would help either.

Can anyone ELI5 what I need to do?

I would consider running a cable to an Access Point to an appropriate location. I recenlty installed a Zyxel AP for a large Care home and with one AP in the centre of the building they are getting good sigals around the house.
