If you're only needing 1, an extender is a great option. I'm a fan of the triband options as their dedicated backhaul tends to result in much better speeds and lower latency.

You'll still be able to use it but it won't use it as failover for the 5ghz disconnecting.
If you think you'll need more than 1 for the coverage, then I would switch over to an orbi system. Running multiple extenders can work but it can also cause instabilities/issues if you don't know what you're doing with it since there's nothing controlling the extenders.
