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.
I am in the exact same boat. I ordered those little hexagonal wifi pods from Shaw. They actually made things worse. After a week I removed them all.
