Smart bulb too far away from router ??

Hi everyone 

after days of trying to connect my Tcp smart plugs to the hub 5 I managed! (FYI I disabled the 5ghz AND the disabled the smart Wi-Fi function that seems to do the trick) 

but now I have another problem! 

one of the bulbs i want to use is outside above the back door, (one of the other bulbs I got working was for the porch so I assumed I could put one at the back door too) but it says it can’t find the Wi-Fi. I’m assuming it’s because it’s past thick walls and further away from the router. 
I went online and was suggested a power line adapter but I think I’ve bought the wrong one 😵💫 

 

any advice on what I should do ? Or on what I could buy ? 

thanks 🙂
