If you have the ability to get an ethernet cable then do so. I use an eternet cable because I don't know my wifi password. If your thing doesn't have an ethernet port then I don't know how to help you.
I agree, ethernet is more consistent and reliable, flat ethernet cable is available which I use in a couple of places, can be hidden under carpets etc https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176186988883 I bought a few extra lengths expecting it to fail at some point but after a year and a half its worked fine.
I also use TP-Link gigabit powerline adapters which work very well. I currently have five on tap. Every 3 months or so there is a hickup but switching one or two of them off (ten seconds) and on again gets it going for another three months.
I've never had a problem with Pi4's or Pi5's wirelessly on TP-Link router or TP-Link OneMesh extenders.
