So for some time now, I have been using a usb wireless network adapter, specifitaly the D-Link AC1200 Dual Band Adapter. But I do not believe that the USB Adapter is the problem, I think its the multiple stone walls that are between me and the nearest extender or router.
So to begin with, and not knowing if this would help, I live in Switzerland, where every house is made of stone and where buying satisfactory equipment makes my wallet grow spiderwebs. I live in a stone house with my parents, being the age of 16, I have a very non satisfactory connection when using wireless, as stated in the title. I have up to 3 walls between me and the extender in the hallway and that extender being only 7 meters away from my door.
The router, to which the extender is connected to is on an upper story of the house, and is through some some walls and floors. The sad thing is, my room is the only room in which there is no LAN cable output/outlet. All the other rooms, including the laundry room has it. I asked my father if he wanted to call an electrician to install the LAN input/output/outlet. He asked me to research and find out if it is the best and most cost effective way to do so.
Another thing is, we bought another Router which is increasing the first one's range, although I can't connect to it from my room, you can from any other withing the house, even the garage, which is underneath my room!
Now this is much more like me complaining more than a question, but is there any way to resolve this annoying problem and if you need any more information, don't hesitate to ask!
Have Fun and Good Luck,
Nikola Veljkovic.

P.S Sorry for having you read through my very long question, I dont even write this much, and fast, when writing an essay! (=

In descending order of speed and reliability:

Ethernet cable
Powerline
WiFi

WiFi apparently does not work in your situation. Multiple stone walls.
Powerline transmits the signal through the house wiring. May or may not be good.
Ethernet cable. Guaranteed to work, but by far the most hassle with an old stone wall house, and you are multiple rooms/floors away.

Buy a set of powerline adapters. See if it works. If it doesn't, send it back and try something else.

So I'll see what I can do with these Powerline Adapters, as I have not heard of them before! I'll also reply to you if the work or if they don't, but I also do not know when I can buy dais Adapters and try them out. Just keep an eye on your notifications and if any one else wants to chip in as for which Powerline Adapters to buy; that would be extremely nice of them! (=
