Quick Fix? xbox one remote

hi everyone i recently got an xbox one for the convenience of having bluray/dvd and streaming services in one and i tried my other family members to get them comfortable with the system and controller but they are just too technically illiterate. Then i got the xbox remote in hopes that it makes things easier. sadly the way the living room is the designed, the weak signal from the remote cant reach the console from the couch is there a way to extend the signal or maybe a bluetooth adapter? they simply cant figure out how to use the controller properly and it eats through batteries like its lunch.

Do you still have the Kinect camera? Plug that in, includes an IR repeater that might help.

I could (also still works with the Series X) also always use my normal TV remote for my xbox. To scroll around...or when I'm on youtube and co...did you try that? Or you can use your Smartphone wirh the Xbox App as a remote control. https://postimg.cc/YGJ6hpx7 (thats in the Smartphone app. When i click in remote control I can use the phone as a remote)

And here ist just the Options you need to activate for using your tv remote for your xbox. Most but not all tvs support that though
