Need more range for Nighthawk AC1900
Until recently, I could get WiFi in every room in my house. Suddenly, the room farthest from my modem router (1 1/2 floors and the width of my house away) became out of bounds, even with an extender that in the past had sufficiently boosted the signal. Guests brought in a mobile hotspot that seems to solve the problem. I'd appreciate recommendations for either the best extender or hotspot for my current equipment. If it makes a difference, my ISP is Comcast. Thanks in advance for your guidance!

How big is your home and what materials is it made of?
You could upgrade to a mesh system and use the C7000 as modem.
That'd allow you to add satellites as needed if you're needing extra coverage.

A single decent extender might cover it but if it didn't already (not sure which one you have), it might be worth checking into the mesh system
