Cheap Wifi Extender Recs?

Got AT&T fiber internet with a gateway on the 1st floor of our townhouse. It's near the rear of the building next to our TV. On certain nights, my wife sits in on a Zoom meeting with friends to knit together and shoot the shite. Her craft room is upstairs in the middle of the building.
In a direct line, her computer is about 30 feet from the gateway downstairs. The signal needs to pass through the floor/ceiling and 1 wall. It seems like normal wifi range should be able to make it this far, but it doesn't. She gets skips and freezes to the point that it is not enjoyable for her.
Any ideas? Do those cheap plug in devices work?
Trying to go as cheap as possible for something that will work.

Not sure what router AT&T rolls with but the Eero routers/extenders work great.

Sorry, ATT is an arse company and goes at great lengths to make sure their hardware doesn’t work with universal standards like easy mesh. You basically turn off the wireless and get your own set of access points or mesh nodes, buy a specific product from AT&T, or live with a super janky repeater setup.

WiFi extenders suck. Get an EERO 7 WiFi mesh router. Run it with my ATT fiber. I have 2 nodes covering a 2400sq ft house.
