Run a cable to that room

 

Or if that really is that unpractical, you could look into powerline adapters, but those would be non-preffered.

If you want Ethernet, run a cable.

 

You can explore Powerline if you can't do that easily but I don't recommend it.

Then a powerline kit would really be the only option.

But usually I personally prefer trying to run an ethernet cable, like along the wall/ceiling edge for example.

Buy a 50ft cable and run it under your house, pretty simple, get a remodel electrical box, and a wall plate, boom ethernet

There is a 200$ solution, it's a product named "devolo magic" and it makes all power cables, Ethernet. I don't know it's they do it g globally or there are other brands

If you are not able to be present in the room physically for some reason or the other, the best solution for your issue would be using an ethernet cable, as suggested by most of us here.

 

As far as I am concerned, I don’t think the connectivity range or network strength will have any issue, but try to stick with a shorter ethernet cable, as that should eliminate connectivity disruptions. I have kids at home and I don’t like the thought of putting cables lying around, so if you have such issue, it is better to stay away from that thought.
