You could look at a simple powerline device.
Plug the brick into the wall socket at each end and connect one to your existing router and the other to your computer in the black-spot.
Alternatively connect a cheap WiFi gateway to the powerline brick in the black spot if you want to use WiFi.
One small point that is often missed when extending a WiFi system. You need to put the extender in a spot where it can receive your current WiFi at a decent bitrate and also will supply a WiFi signal at the required bit-rate in the black-spot. That is not always an easy thing to achieve, consequently I recommended a powerline solution to bring your network into the black-spot area. You can then use a wired or wireless solution in that area as you require.
Hope that helps.
