So i the place i live wifi comes with the place and i have a wifi router thats set up in my kitchen. There is only one port available for a wired connection and thats running to my pc in my room but i want to get better wifi coverage in my room and the livng room. Ive been doing some research and im not sure if i just need to get a switch then i can run 2 wires to the living room and my bedroom to hook up a wifi extender of some sort( not sure the name) and then i can still run my wilred connection to my pc? I added  a pic of what im working with. the cable im using is on the right. not sure what the others are for but im guessing its just connections to other routers in the building.

Switch and a range extender sounds like a good option.

You could install a switch and an wireless AP, or get a cheap router, install a custom firmware and turn that into a wireless AP.
