AC750 Shouldn't need a extender !

I previously had a Cisco Linksys E1000 2.4 GHz band, for what ever reason that quit working so I bought a Netgear AC750 runs 3.4 and 5GHz band. I would have bought the Cisco again, but those were sold out ! I figured this one would work as the other one, but since I bought it 8 months ago, I have had my lap top working like the old dial up connection days, when I recently took my laptop to my daughters and it ran perfect, I knew it I was my router I had bought ! I am so frustrated with this Netgear !! My sister came out to help me look at it - she found it needed a update, and it worked great again, as it should have all these months ago !

 Now, past 3 days I am back to dial up connection speed, I checked fort update nothing new. I shouldn't have to buy a wifi extender .. what can I do ? any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thank You !!
