Wi-Fi Booster for Rural Home

I live in a rural setting and work from home. TP Link 1588 router, installed by local provider. Our address makes it impossible to utilize a large internet provider - we get 9.6 download and 1.5 upload - it's frustrating, to say the least.

 

Would it be wise to utilize a Netgear Nighthawk router and wi-fi booster system? Other suggestions welcome!

    Are you getting weak signal in certain parts of the home? if so the extender would improve your coverage but you might be getting lower speeds on the extenders network.
