Which is better: Netgear AC750 vs WNDR4300 set up as repeater

I currently have a Netgear WNDR4300 router installed upstairs in a two-story house. Using iPhone 4S phones downstairs on the Wi-Fi network I'm experiencing lots of dropouts from the Wi-Fi connection.

Would I be better off buying and installing a Netgear AC750 extender downstairs or buying another WNDR4300 router and setting it up downstairs as a repeater? What would be the advantage of one or over the other if there is one?

  • Get a range extender.  Netgear routers have poor support for wireless repeating.
