How far away in feet would say the room is from the router? Wifi signals are broadcast over channels. Have you tried changing the channel to a different one? If you live in a dense residential neighborhood, you may have to manually select a broadcast channel to avoid interference from your neighbors' wifi signals.
the room is about 50 feet away. i ran some tests on different channels, but it was no better. i can stand right outside that room in the hallway and get good speeds, and when i step into that room it gets worse, and then when i close the door, its even worse again

in the hallway and get good speeds
Why not just put an Access Point in the hallway? You can buy a low profile, slim, non-discreet router and hang it on the wall, perhaps above an outlet.

You need to get creative. The connectivity possibilities are here but only you have the engineering possibilities.
You may need to...
• install an AC outlet in the hallway
• route Ethernet through attic
• Powerline Ethernet
• ...anybody else?
