Best wired access point

[dt95]

I am setting up a new network in a home fully wired with Cat 6.  I will be using a Netgear C7000-100NAS as the cable modem and wifi.  However, the signal on the other side of the house is not as strong as I would like.  I would like to find an access point to plug into the wired network on the other side of the house to provide strong comprehensive coverage, including the pool/patio area.  All I can find are Netgear's prosafe line of APs, which are business class and probably overkill for me.  Does any one have any suggestions?  Other brands I should consider?  Thanks.

A Netgear range extender can function as an AP.  Pick one that will suit the needs of your Wi-Fi clients.

I want one that is hard wired into my network to improve reliability.  I do not want an extender that connects wirelessly to my network.    I don't see any Netgear home products that do this.  Only business products.  

Other suggestions?

Netgear's extenders can be hard wired into the network as an AP.  Look at pages 18-19, for example, in the EX7000 manual.
