Creating extended network using Netgear AC1900 model C7000V2

I have a Nighthawk router which I need to be able to extend the range for.  I am looking for appropriate range extenders for both inside a home and outside a home for seamless coverage.  What is the most appropriate product to enable continuous extended range with this router?

The RBS50Y is an outdoor extender that works well.  I've also used the EX8000 and it works well with its wireless backhaul. Its basically a RBS50Y but indoor and with extra ethernet ports. I've used both and each has their place depending on if you want it indoors or placed outdoors. 

I'm not a fan of running more than 1 extender as you can start running into issues unless you're using a mesh network that's designed for it. 

If you do decide to go the route of more than a single extender, I'd recommend running different SSID's for them to reduce conflicts.
