What would be the best router to add as Access Point with my existing Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Router?

I'm wanting to extend my existing home network as I constantly lose wireless signal in my office, which is at the opposite end of the house in basement.  I've used AP before, but I am open to using a network repeater/extender also.  Looking for recommendations that are know to work well with the AC1900 (Model R6900).  Thanks for any recommendations!

      Yes, I have ethernet in my office and also to a shop nearby, so planning to put (2) of whatever is best recommended.  Quality and simplicity is more important to me than price.

        EX7000 (AC19000) which supports AP mode, would be a good choice.
