Some good info in here - Need Some Router Suggestions
I use a Google Wifi mesh and very happy with it. Not cheap though, and as per every Google product probably renamed/deprecated now. Our house is in Canada, so wood everywhere which makes it easy, so not sure about brick. For years I used Powerline Adapters (I keep thinking that’s the Disney Goofy Movie, the one with his kid but it’s not) as the electrical wiring is new, but never really were super happy with them.
