this would either imply buying both an ap and powerline adapters, which
could end up being too expensive. I can't pass a wire through the walls, not
enough space.

how do I upgrade an antenna? the only ones I saw at my shop were for a
specific model/brand ap. I have this zyxel router set up as an ap, do you
think it's possible to do the job on it? I'm not at home now, so I can't
tell you the model...
