Have a Nighthawk C7000v2 AC1900
Need to extend wifi signal to two of the 4 upstairs bedrooms. The Router is in the basement den and does a great job for the basement and second floor. However the third floor where the bedrooms are ...

as it might interfere with the signal.
You've put your finger on the key issue there, "might" could also be one of those "cover your rear" warnings that suppliers of electronic stuff like to toss around.
Test your inner scientist and see if it really does interfere.
What is it behind the TV that connects the TV router to the Internet? Ethernet wiring?
I'm with plemans. If possible avoid adding another box to the network.
You'd be better off to centrally locate the C7000.
How much actual area is it?
Reason I ask is if you can centrally locate the C7000, its better to go that route versus adding an extender.
But if you can't then I'd recommend looking at the triband extenders. Their dedicated backhaul keeps their throughput higher and latency lower than the single/dual band extenders.
Each story of the house is approximately 1000 square feet. Thanks I really don't want to add an extender unless necessary. I will follow your advice and move the router to the second floor. I only was concerned that I would have to use a splitter from the access point with one cable going to the TV box and one cable going to the wifi router.
Thanks for your help.
