I have a router that it is in the center of the house, and 3 other computers that are connected through WiFi plus some other devices. my computer is far from the router, and i have medium signal.
The problem would be solved if I moved my router into my room but the phone is connected through VoIP, and cannot be moved from the center of the house.
What will be a good solution?
I thought of using a good WiFi Extender into my room (there is a power outlet that has a clear view with the router) and continue using WiFi or plug an Ethernet cable from it to my computer
Does something like the WiFi extender exist but for phone? so I can move the router into my room and extend the DSL signal to the center of the house?
I found out about power-line, but i don't really know if they are good, but I can search about their requirements if they are good.
I want my network to be reliable and have good performance, because Im using my computer for online gaming as well.

If the phone plugs into the router via a cable then you can use any existing phone wires in your house. You could also use ethernet cable but you might have to replace the ends with rj11 that phones use.

If it is a true VoIP telephone then it works just like a pc it uses normal WiFi or normal ethernet. It is just a computer that happens to have a keypad and handset rather than a keyboard and headset.

I know that Ethernet will provide me that, thats why I want to move the router inside my room, but as I said the phone cannot be moved, and I don't know if the wifi extender is worth it, i have never tried one yet

No it does not work directly via phone wire, i tried it connecting alone and with splitter/filter but the phone is dead. The phone works only via the router when it has established connection.
It is probably then a true VoIP phone.

It depends what port on the router it plugs into. If it plugs into a special voice port then you could connect that port to the house phone lines and plug the phone into a different jack elsewhere. If it goes into a lan port then it is nothing special it will even work on powerline networks if you need to.
