That brick house, is it got the original wiring?
Powerline works great but not with old school wiring.
Any way you have coax ran through the home?
What are the floors made of?
Brick homes are a PITA because the brick does a great job of blocking wifi and causing issues.

Thanks for your response. Yes, it is an old home (1939), brick with plaster walls, and mix of old and new wiring. Since my post, I contacted Verizon and their tech said problem could be my old Verizon router, now more than 12 years old. We worked out a deal that they will replace the router with new model, as well as my 3 cable tv boxes, and waive the installation fee. Monthly fee goes up only $8 and he assured me we won’t need any extender. We’ll see in a week if he’s right, so I will put this request on hold for now. But I do appreciate your interest.😀
