AC1900 cable modem router

HI all,

 

I live in a 4-story home and have the AC 1900 modem/router on the 2nd floor. Certain areas have slow wifi speeds and I am trying to figure out the best way to increase wifi on the other floors. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I can buy or do to improve the signal across my home? Thanks in advance.

    What is the size of the home? Sq feet? 

    May need a wifi extender to add...

      It's about 2000 sqft. Multi-level home, 4 stories. Will an extender work? Or should I buy an Orbi router with 2 satellites. I wasn't sure if that was overkill. Thanks in advance.

        Ya a extender would work for this. EX7500/7000 or 8000. Orbi RBR and 1 RBS would be Ok.
