Expand coverage with nighthawk r8300

Hi I am trying to extend the coverage of my Nighthawk R8300 router as it does not reach all of my home. What can I add to make a mesh system and maintain same SSID and passwords to insure seamless coverag

    Netgear has mesh extenders that work pretty great. I'm a fan of the triband extenders because of their dedicated backhaul.

    If you're needing more than 1, I usually recommend people upgrade to an actual mesh system like netgear orbi or the MK nighthawk series. When you're needing more, its better to have the whole system designed for mesh and not just using extenders (IMO)
