Hi all im looking for some advice as my broadband is in the living room and my gaming pc is in another room im using very long cable to reach from broadband to my desktop
and the cable is under the doors as sometimes i cannot close it

Is there any router or extender i can use in my room and connect from my room to the desktop thru Ethernet and will i loose signal ?

if there is something please could you drop me the links not looking for expensive ones
 
Not sure what you are asking. A ethernet cable is a ethernet cable run between the 2 locations. As stated above you might find another path. depending on your house layout it might not be that expensive to pay a electrician to run it. You could also use the method ISP tend to use. Use outdoor cable and run it on the outside of the house drilling a hole though the walls on each end.
Doesn't look the best but it tends to be very fast to accomplish.

Maybe consider MoCA if you have coax cable in both rooms. The newer moca units can pass close to 1gbit. If you can live with say 100mbps or so powerline networks are also a option.

If there is anyway to get a actual ethernet cable run that should always be your first option.

Is this a house you or your parent own(not renting)?

You can install an ethernet outlet on both sides of the wall.
1. https://www.amazon.com/Iwillink-2-Pack-Ethernet-Keystone-Coupler/dp/B09NVQJGXK
2. https://www.amazon.com/VCE-Voltage-Mounting-Telephone-Cables-Black/dp/B07J4YS51F
3. https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Flexboot-Ethernet-Patch-Cable/dp/B00AJHCA6Q

I would offset them by an inch or 2 so they're not directly facing the ethernet ports directly at each other. So you have room to plug in the cables to both inside the wall. Just use an oscillating tool to make the cuts.
