Need extender for long range - Nighthawk AC2600 router
I just moved into a house that has a workshop that is 150 feet from the house. I have a D7800 Nighthawk X4S AC2600 router. What is the best extender to get a signal out to my workshop? I was looking at the Orbi, but didn't know which devices i needed to obtain. Do i need a different router with the Orbi or can i add satellites with the nighthawk.
Thank you

Orbi isnt' a bad option either but its also wifi based so could suffer the same issues posted in the other thread. It does have the option of a wired backhaul. You could bury the cable. You can run ethernet up to 300ft so 150ft shouldn't be an issue and would give you the best performance/stability.
