Extender for MR6500

I have acquired a Nighthawk MR6500 and am looking for an extender.  I can see that models like the EX8000 have been recommended in the past, but these are no longer updated by Netgear, so I'm wondering if there is anything more recent that will work with it?
Thanksf

    Any of the ones here would work with it, though I'd stick with one of the WiFi 6 or maybe WiFi 7 models.

      Thanks - annoyingly some of the newer ones aren't available in the UK but I'll grab something that is!
