Your primary router is the one that sets the wifi channel. You can try logging into that to change wifi channels. try 1-6-11. Maybe one has less interference than the other.
You are a bit limited because of your router. Again, the router forms the backbone of the network. The extender can't perform any better than the router. Plus because of the way it (your specific extender), your speed from the extender will be half of what the router is.
