dont use extender but use a proper mesh
I see comment like this from some of my research but I don't quite get what this means because Extender they also call it Mesh
Is it something like this?

mesh , extender, dan lain lain will never win ethernet cable. Any possibility to do some hardwiring ?
Understand cable is the real winner, but I need the Wifi for multiple devices and I also don't want to keep changing network when I walk in/out of a room.

best position for 1 strong wifi router to cover whole house
If I don't want to pull cable to reach this position, then this should be the desired location for the additional Mesh unit?

Along the years, I have accumulated routers from internet subscription. What I do is just connect a lan cable from main router, then plug into the wan port in another router near my room. So I will connect to my room router wifi instead. I don't even need to spend a dime, except buying lan cable 20M cat8. I can't figure out why people want to waste money on mesh.
For your case, If u going my way, I believe u can route the lan cable behind your tv cabinet from the floor, then up to your balcony curtain hiding the wires behind the rail, then come back down on the floor edge and go to master room.
Or u can go further over the door edge to your bedroom 2.
If u have false ceiling that has opening, easier to hide the cable
Understand cable is most stable, but I hope to do it clean, concealing wiring all those also involve cost and if leave it open it doesn't look pleasant + trapping dusts. I don't hope to achieve 100%, but I'll be pretty happy to get 70% from the full speed, Maybe I consider positioning extender Mesh outside bedroom 2

Wifi extender can only transmit max speed that it receives. If you place it somewhere with weak signal, it can only extend that weak signal. So change and play around with the extender placement if possible. Easier if you install some wifi analyzer app on your phone and look at the wifi signal strength at the place you want.
Ok this gives me an idea how to play around the positioning, will install Wifi Analyzer to help with positioning.
