Best mesh add on for netgear R6350 router

I want to add to or three mesh devices to my existing Netgear R6350 router. Which mesh devices have installed and working with this router? No I can not replace router as my unique OTA WiFi supplied this router and will only support the system with this router. And no can not switch provider as only one in area.

    I don't recommend using more than 1 extender without switching to a full mesh system like Orbi or the MK nighthawk series.

    Extenders are great at what they do but if you're needing 2-3 of them, its better to have a mesh system with something controlling it. 

    You can add a mesh system like orbi/MK to your R6350 and run the mesh system in access point.

      I have an Orbi Mesh system sitting in AP mode behind an R7800 router. Works fine.

       

      I don't even have to turn off the wifi from the R7800, but it can help to reduce wifi congestion and confusion.
