What is the actual model number? (from the product label. AC1600 is a marketing term regarding the maximum 'speed')
Is there a window facing the main building?

Tried texting one of the antennas from the NETGEAR extender to the outside and that helped on the 5gh signal, but did nothing for the 2.4gh signal
