Sales support for Extender or Mesh device hardwired to Nighthawk X4S-AC2600 R7800-100NAS

I have CAT6 ran to shed about 300 feet away.  I have the Nighthawk AC2600 router in the house.  I want to have the same wifi network name in the shed as the house.  Is this possible?  Which device would be best for me?  Thank you.

    Hi h1ckman,

                           You can go with EX8000, but in AP mode there is no mesh feature as input is provided to EX8000 via wired connection from your existing router or gateway.
