best wifi extender
Recently procured 2 HP Pavillion Gaming PC's, not that we are going to use them for gaming but ar more interested in their speed. We currently have a R 7000/AC 1900 router and was wondering what range extenders would would work best with this router. Considering the EX 7300 or the EX 7000. Thanks for the input.

I would strongly encourage the triband extenders.
Reason why is a standard extender cuts throughput 50% of whatever its receiving. This is because they have to receive and then retransmit and they can't do both at once. So its automatically half the speed of whatever they're getting at a certain location.
the tri-bands mitigate this by reserving one of the 5ghz bands just for router----extender communication.
