ex6120 strong enough???

hi, we had the new  fiber optic line and their router installed by our local frontier phone company.  the guy that installed it said if we got a new smart tv in bedroom 

(other end of house ranch) we would need a wifi extender he, told us his house was simular ranch and you could use the middle one (extender ex1620). it does work good but sometimes we loose a program and have to go an recheck or wireless connection which is good??  should i get a more powerful extender.  we do live in a rual wooded area.  thanks

  • how big is the actual home? 

    What are the interior walls made of? (certain materials block wifi better than others)

    What speeds do you get in the bedroom connected to the extender? (check both 2.4ghz and 5ghz)

    What router do you have?
