Please recommend a basic WiFi extender for my Nighthawk X6 R8000

Hi,

 

I gave my old R8000 router to my dad after I purchased the R9000 for myself.

He needs a wifi range extender to help w signal in the other corner of his ranch house

 

Please recommend a range extender that is basic (aka not expensive) that will work with the R8000. 

 

He does not need anything fancy.  Just something for a couple of iPhones and iPads.  Reliable performance and simple setup preferred over blazing speeds. Smiley Happy I don't want to spend a bundle on mesh networks.  The house isn't that big.

 

He may be getting newer devices, so 802.11ac (supporting 2.4 and 5 GHz) is preferred.

 

Thanks.

Aloke

There's a bunch of different models that could work for you. 

You can look at the extder page and then sort it by the capabilities you do want.
