WiFi Extenders

Question

I have a small business (6 computers) in which I setup the AC1450 Wi-Fi router. It works great and I have no issues EXCEPT there are a couple of computers that are behind a block wall and the signal tends to be weaker.&nbsp; I was looking at the AC750 Extenders and was wondering if they woulld be an appropriate solution.&nbsp; I read some of the reviews and there was mention of the bandwith being reduced if you are using these boosters. and that signals get dropped if you have a device that moves around (i.e. laptop, ipad) Are these real concerns? Is there a better solution?

Hi kfall,
&nbsp;
If the rooms are in the same electrical circuit, consider Powerline:

&nbsp;
Powerline setups:
Router---wire--Powerline(1a)---outlet room 1 ..... outlet room 2---Powerline(1b)---wire/WiFi---device
&nbsp;
Here are some sample setups of Extender:
Router---wire---Extender - - - devices
Router - - WiFi - - Extender - - - devices - this method reduces the bandwidth by extending the router's signal through WiFi
