see what I wrote above. I'd recommend a router + triband mesh extender or a full mesh system like orbi.
running a router plus trying to setup an additional router can be done but its more expensive and isn't as seamless.
if you haven't bought the router/routers yet, then I'd investigate the other routes.

thank you again for all your help..
I did buy the nighthawk AC3600.... but I can take it back. Since we are on the train of advice, which one would you get?

If you're wanting seamless coverage? I'd watch amazon for orbi renewed deals. I've picked up a couple RBK53 systems for relatives for super cheap and they've worked great. I'm not sure if the investment to Orbi AX is worth it right now.
but thats just me. I'm a fan of mesh systems.
