Extending Range on 1st Floor
I have FiOS internet. In the basement I have the FiOS Quantum Gateway Router supplying the wifi. I have the AC3000-Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender on my second floor. What would be a good solution to extend coverage on the first floor? It can connect to the existing wifi or I can connect via ethernet to the router. Not sure which Netgear extender would serve me best on this floor. Thanks in advance.

If you didn't already have the EX8000 I'd have suggested an Orbi - similar price if you need multiple extenders, and there are advantages to getting a fully integrated mesh system. If you can still exchange it, then perhaps consider that.
In general you'll get the best speeds connecting the over ethernet. The next best option is a triband extender. You could get another EX8000, though if you are using AP mode you could go with something less expensive - for instance an EX7300.
