Use a WIFI Repeater with a Ethernet port on it. Connect your pc to the Ethernet port on it, connect it to your existing router via WIFI and it is set up. Or you could use powerline.

yes. If it says 802.11b/g/n/ac you should be able to. Just check it supports 802.11n.

What you're looking for is a wireless router with what is called 'Wireless Bridge' mode, where the router instead of being a wireless AP, it links wirelessly to the other AP and it's Ethernet ports now offer connections to the AP's network, the bridge will do little work other than wireless, DHCP and everything will be handled by the AP.  Not all routers support 'Bridge Mode' however.  Check your firmware.
