What are the best solutions for extending Wi-Fi range in a big, old house with thick walls? I rent, so I'd rather avoid adding any cables.

I have an extender already, but it's a cheap one and bandwidth sucks. Any success stories?
Edit: Thanks all for your replies!

they improved quite a bit in recent years, here i can buy 500mbps powerline kit for less than 100€
Did you test it? Don't blindly trust the number on the box. My distrust of Powerline is based on testing different TP-Link sets at different homes; the speed was almost always slower than Wi-Fi.
I guess there are various factors that can affect this; I'm not an electrician but I assume that the way your home's power grid is set up might make a difference.
