Pretty much all of netgears range extenders would work.
I would highly recommend the tri-band extenders. Reason why is a standard extender cuts throughput in half because it has to receive and re-transmit and can't do both at once. So its cuts throughput in half and increases latency. The tri-bands mititgate that somewhat by reserving a chip just for router-extender communcations.

plemans I have a related question, perhaps you can help. Is the MESH EXTENDER WIFI 6 4-STREAM (Model: EAX20) compatible with the C3700? Will it help solve issues of limited range and speed with the C3700? How about the EX8000?
Thanks in advance!
