Oh and one other thing, in some of my previous attempts to improve my own network and to get coverage into the far back of my house when my mother comes to visit I have used range extenders. We also have one at our vacation house to reach the far upstairs bedroom.
It works for straight access to the internet just fine. I have found it does introduce a bit of latency such that you will likely notice it for gaming and perhaps get some buffering if you are trying to stream. But if all you are looking to do is get consistent WiFi signal, they serve that purpose just fine. That being said, this also assumes you have solved your base issue of keeping a consistent connection to your primary router from the range extender itself. I had to move one of my range extenders around to several spots before I found a place it could keep a stable connection in the first place before it became reliable.

Too many games to fit in signature....
