Yes, brand new - just returned them to the store a week ago.
then you could also try a USB WiFi 7 adapter
The adapter in the PC is a A8000, but the RS300 is too fare away to get a stable signal (hence the extender). It's in a different floor with concrete floor divider.

If the adapter connection is poor, then the extender backhaul will also be poor. Retransmissions on the backhaul likely is the cause of the bufferbloat (since the extender needs to buffer the packets until they are delivered to the router).
As plemans says, MoCa is another path if you have coax in both rooms. Or (if you own) contact an electricion and see if it is practical to run ethernet. If the wiring runs through conduits (often the case with concrete construction) that might be possible (and affordable).
