What is the best solution nowadays for a situation like mine, where I'm not trying to cover some massive 4000 sq ft home, but rather just get usable internet up to the third floor? I'd rather not have to shell out for an obscenely expensive mesh network if I don't have to.
With black friday coming up I want to figure this out.

Basic mesh network with 3 nodes is like $150 (ie: Deco). Not insanely expensive now, dead easy and better future proofing than extenders. With power line built in, it's even easier and would probably be $200 for 3 nodes?
ie: something like this one
