I usually recommend triband extenders. Standard extenders (single/dual) take a 50% speed hit because of how they operate. Tribands don't take this hit as they have a dedicated wired backhaul.

The GDI-SXTTR2 is a single band and not dual band, fyi.
You can try changing the channel your broadcasting on as 2.4ghz is more sensitive to interference.
