Tri Band range extender

I recently bought tri band router R7900P, works well but just one room has difficulty getting signal.  i have moved the router as for as possible towards the center of the house. router is in the basement while the room in question is level above. i would like to buy a appropriate range extender, my question is, since i have a tri band router, is it better to buy a tri band range extender to maintain the benefits ? if so which is better?

    Hi lapchaser,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    There are certainly benefits to also getting a tri-band extender especially the one's that support Mesh. You can look into them here. The link below may also help out.
