Hi Blackstone,

 

If the rooms are on the same electrical circuit, consider Powerline.

 

Some possible setups:

Router---wire---Powerline(first unit)----electrical outlet room 1..................electrical outlet room 2----Powerline(second unit)----wire or WiFi -----Smart TV

 

Router---wire or WiFi ---Extender- - - wire or WiFi - - - Smart TV

 

Please review the products and compare  to see which fits your requirements:
