Any future tech to solve Wi-Fi in a House of Concrete & Steel

My parent's house is built like a bunker. It's pretty much built to withstand the toughest hurricanes, earthquakes, etc...

Of course, the obvious downside now that they've gotten a taste for the internet is that wifi signals don't go too far. They've had 4 consultants come out, and nada. Everyone agrees that even extenders don't do much at all.

In fact, they now have 2 different wifi networks, 1 for each floor. Yes, they pay basically double, and tech support often gets confused when 1 of the networks goes down, since they don't assume a single home has 2 networks. Even then, the routers are strategically placed to maximize its reach of computers & tv's, but ultimately don't even reach half the floor (e.g., 1st floor wifi reaches living room & 1 room but doesn't reach kitchen).

So, what am I ultimately asking? They're worried that in the future of smart homes w/ smart bulbs, amazon echo's, and such, the house will lose its value regardless of its location, value, etc...

Is there some future tech. in the horizon we're unaware of that would i dunno.... solve our specific issue?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
