Stay far away from Netgear consumer devices (extenders or routers for AP usage) - as you have at least one (supposedly working, full four pairs/eight strands) network cable, look into the Netgear small business wireless access points like WAC505/WAC510 and if more bandwidth is required the WAC540.

Forgot mentioning (we still don't have the edit option here) - the only downside is that you have to use wither a PoE switch o have to buy an optional power supply.
