No, my solution is meant differently:
Router <--- wifi ---> Access-point <--- UTP cable ----> PC
the UTP cable is just a short run to the PC, as the accesspoint sits right next to the PC. If the accesspoint is configured as wifi-to-cable bridge you can avoid stringing long cables. So "She" has almost nothing to complain about :-)
I usually keep a configured spare range-extender/accesspoint/bridge with a RJ45 connector for exactly such cases in the drawer. Can be a cheap one and there is no need for mesh integration. If it works once it usually will work always. Helps sorting out hw/driver issues with OSes.
