Hello sam022
What kind of features are you looking for in a extender and also what is the model of your router?

- I'm looking for one that will give me the best connection when I'm playing my Xbox one online. It's a sky hub router
Hello sam022
I would look at the Ex3200 which is the low end of the AC extenders up to the EX7300 it just depends on your budget but you will want a dual band AC extender since your router is dual band AC.

Honestly, I'd get a better router if at all possible. Otherwise if you need an extender then get the EX7300.
The R9000 can probably reach where you need it to, although it's hard to say for sure.
If that can't then the Orbi certainly can. For gaming I'd go with the Orbi and a satellite over a router and the extender. Extender cuts into your bandwidth, but it has it's place and can ork great for gaming of course.
