Try homeplugs or if there is a phone extention to your sons room use the telephone line and convet it to ethernet you only need 4 wires to get it working
Ordinary telephone cable will not do as an Ethernet cable if you are BT infinity

I was just going by my own experience while wiring an Ethernet extension with telephone
wire and wouldn't work so had to purchase a roll of Ethernet cable that worked ok. Right
Enough I have BT infinity fibre optic so maybe that's why ordinary cable wouldn't work,
sorry correction 2 pair telco only 4 wires needed ,you might find you had a broken wire in the run if it was old wiring Toothfairy this house is 2 years old so all wiring is behind plasterboard and new ,this is the only reason i went this route to avoid wiring and keep ping times to 1ms
Yes you can use it:
1: Give it a static IP address, and make sure it is out of the DHCP range of the "master router"
2: Switch off the DHCP function in the "repeater"
3: You can give it the same SSID as the master one, as long as the encryption type is kept same.
Worse part will be the "hard wiring" to the master Router, if you do not have the cable in place. Alternative is to use Ethernet Over Lan.
