Netgear Nighthawk LTE Hotspot WiFi Extender Options

We have limited internet options where we live (Satellite, DSL, Mobile Hotspot). We choose to go with the Mobile Hotspot through AT&T because we have good cell service at home. So far it is working great for us other than the WiFi does not extend too far from the device.
I am needing to know if there is any options out there to extend the WiFi of our Nighthawk?

First, you're going to have to decide how many walls and/or floors the Wi-Fi signal has to go through.

 

I'm no expert, but I believe you can run an ethernet cable from the Netgear Nighthawk LTE Hotspot Wi-Fi Extender ethernet port to the yellow WAN port on a Linksys Max-Stream AC3000 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi Router (BestBuy.com for $199 USD). For a more powerful Wi-Fi solution, check the NETGEAR - Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router $479 USD (Model:R9000-100NAS SKU:5610805). Again, plug the ethernet cable into the LTE Hotspot Wi-Fi Extender ethernet port and the other end into the yellow port (WAN port). Both of these solutions extend the Wi-Fi range of the Netgear Nighthawk LTE Hotspot Wi-Fi Extender markedly, the R9000 more so.
