Best products for extending wifi on 3 acres of property - to play Nintendo Switch
I have the Nighthawk X4s AC2600 EX3700 Router in my home. 44 yards away, in my barn/whisky bar, I have the Netgear Extender model EX7000, and then about 20 yards from that, in our party shop, I have tried to install the Netgear Wifi Range Extender AC750 model # EX3700.
The goal is to have a strong enough wifi signal for people's phones in the whiskey bar and shop and to be able to play Nintendo Switch in the shop (the furthest place from the router in the house).
What do you suggest for equipment to get this done? Do I need to upgrade the router, if so to what... or upgrade the extenders and if so to what. Of course I don't want to spend a lot money to accomplish this goal, so any budget conscious suggestion would be great!
Thanks Community!

Your best bet?
Run an ethernet wire from one to the next. Put a cheap unmanaged switch in each and then setup the extenders in AP mode.
So home-----------cable-----switch in barn------cable---------ex3700-ap mode in party shop

EX7000-ap mode
Might give you the best combination of speed, reliability, lowest latency.
and even be reasonably cheap if you can bury your own underground ethernet wire.
