Which wifi range extender

I have a Netgear D6300 and want to get a WiFi range extender for it. I know I have to match it with the correct one. The D6300 is a AC1600 but I can't seem to find a range extender to match it. Which one should I use? There are AC1200 extenders and AC1900. But nothing for AC1600.

    You don't have to match up extenders perfectly.  The router and extender will sync up at the fastest speeds supported by both.  Any of the AC1900 extenders will take maximum advantage of the router, but really anything will work.
