Can i add a mesh system to RAX50?

I'm going horrible speeds in my basement. Is it possible to add a mesh system to expand coverage?

Or would a different router suit me?

Thanks.

Are you wanting to add a mesh system like orbi or a mesh extender? 

They're 2 different things.

I'm looking for recommendations on what I can do to get better wifi coverage throughout my house.  The house is about 2,500 square feet.  I tried an Orbi RBK20W but I didn't get good speeds.  I thought it was wifi 6 but I believe it is not.

 

I went back to the RAX50 and placed it in the basement as that is now where my modem is.

 

The wifi 6 Orbi systems all look very expensive.

 

Thank you.
