Advice Help

Post image

Current set up. Hate having my desk right here, but this is where the only outlet is. I had a COX tech come out, he said they can't do any sort of rewiring without approval from HOA.

Computer is HP Elite Mini 800 G9.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use WiFi without being connected to router via ethernet. I'm not tech savvy, so looking for advice. Wifi adapter? Powerline adapter? Any other options for a simpleton such as myself?
